Know My Name - Wikipedia Project (2020-2021)
Just 18 per cent of biographies on Wikipedia are about women. When it comes to women artists and creators, that number is even lower.
As part of Wikimedia Australia, I'm coordinating a partnership with the National Gallery of Australia's Know My Name initiative which aims to enhance understanding and appreciation of work by Australian artists who identify as women.
Each year on the weekend of International Women's Day, Wikipedia edit-a-thons are growing around Australia to significantly increase the representation of women creators, scientists and leaders on the world's biggest information platform.

‘More Than A Day’ is a video series of step-by-step tutorials to learn to edit Wikipedia.
There are 10 easy-to-follow chapters: everything from creating your account, to making edits on an existing page, or creating a new one and looking after it.
Launched on International Women's Day in 2023, this video resource was made by Franklin Women and The Leadership Film in partnership and consultation with Wikimedia Australia, supported by AbbVie and Good Pitch Australia, Shark Island Institute, Documentary Australia Foundation, and our Good Pitch donors.
