Just For The Record presents a new event!

[edit]

On the occasion of the Elles Tournent / Dames Draaien Festival, Just For The Record proposes a workshop which invites you to question gender and its representations both on and off the screen.

Our last event at the Pink Screens Festival with Anne Smolar was so nice (have a look at the documentation here) that we are happy to announce that we have planned another event with her, this time in the context of the Elles Tournent / Dames Draaien Festival.

Together with Anne Smolar and co-founder of the festival Marie Vermeiren, we will go back in the herstory of the festival and highlight women and feminist filmmakers. We will look at how they are represented on Wikipedia, if they are, and how they are connected to each other.

The topics we will be working on will follow the threads developed during our last events, at Hana Miletić’s exhibition at Beursschouwburg and at the Pink Screens Festival, on (red) links and networks.

During the event, we invite you to contribute to Wikipedia and to the discussions around the gender gap on Wikipedia. You can edit an existing article to improve it, create a new one about a subject that doesn’t exist, but we also highly value the sharing of editing experiences, and ideas about what could make Wikipedia a more welcoming and colorful place!

Open questions:

[edit]

Here are interrogations we would like to share with you:

  • if Wikipedia can be considered as a tool to re·write history, how would you like it to be written?
  • what is the influence the way we write on the representation of history and its main figures?
  • can writing ever be neutral?

Translations

[edit]
  • These lists mostly link to English Wikipedia, don’t forget your own language’s Wikipedia!

Look for problematic language

[edit]
  • Man as false generic: Ban the use of the words man, men and mankind to refer to a person or persons of unspecified sex or to persons of both sexes.

The page Writing about women offers great insights. Look for the following problems in existing pages and try to fix them:
