Hello Jane,
I've noticed your work on Emily Carr in wikidata.
I would like to invite you to this upcoming series of free online events funded by the Wikimedia Foundation, featuring Canadian women visual artists.
Wiki-Wednesdays - Canadian Visual Artists On the first Wednesday of every month from noon to 1 pm, we will demonstrate Wikimedia and wiki data editing and learning led by a technology expert from the UK through zoom online learning. We will also help cultural connectors create knowledge graphs to demonstrate the importance of linked open data (LOD) and creating online information on your websites that increase audiences and engagement.
This project will help participants to get started through these steps each session: 1. Provide overview information about the WikiGLAM sector and how to work together over this project period. 2. Obtain a Wiki handle or user page so they can begin to understand how to edit Wikipedia or Wiki data. 3. Develop learning tools and presentations so participants understand important Wiki data labels – Examples include visual artist dates of birth, an artist trained by, notable works, part of the Collection of the X art museum, curatorial research or curatorial essays, etc. 4. Demonstrate how a SPARQL query pulls information from Wiki data to form a data visualization, also known as a knowledge graph. 5. Demonstrate how the visualization could be used in public programming or as a learning tool for educators, volunteers, or exhibit staff. 6. Provide examples of how the knowledge graph can foster connections between different art museums, visual artists, notable works, researchers, and curators.
We will focus on Canadian women visual artists highlighted in an exhibit created by the McMichael Canadian Art Collection - Uninvited: Canadian Women Artists in the Modern Moment. This exhibit is on view at the Vancouver Art Gallery (June 11, 2023, to January 8, 2023) and then at the National Gallery in Ottawa (March 3, 2023 - August 20, 2023).
While some of these artists belonged to the Canadian Group of Painters founded by A. Casson or the Beaver Hall Group in Montreal, they were not formally invited to join the Group of Seven, Canadian Landscape Painters.
