Wiki Women Design

"With Wiki Women Design, the Flanders Architecture Institute strives to bring women who have left their mark on Belgium's design heritage out of the shadows of history. Many women contributed to the designed environment, from (interior) architecture and graphic design to fashion and product design. Nevertheless, many remained under the radar of heritage institutions, researchers and collectors. With Wikipedia as a universal platform, writing sessions as a means, and five renowned female designers as ambassadors, Wiki Women Design aims to make up for this backlog. ... Anyone who wants to contribute can participate in one of the Wikipedia writing sessions organized by the Flanders Architecture Institute in collaboration with the project partners. The writing sessions take the form of edit-a-thons, a well-known format where communities come together to write and publish on a particular topic. The aim is to train new editors and improve the quality of articles on the subject."
