An illustration by Sara Gonçalves depicting the Brazilian computer scientist <a href="https://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nina_da_Hora" target="[object Object]">Nina da Hora</a>, created for an <a href="https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Ilustratona_WELX" target="[object Object]">"illustratona"</a> held by the feminist wiki collective <a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wiki_Editoras_Lx" target="[object Object]">WELx</a>, to fill a visual knoweldge gap as part of the VisibleWikiWomen Campaign. 

InvisibleWikiWomen

The Visible Wiki Women campaign, initiated by Whose Knowledge?, is meant to address a series of intersection gaps on Wikimedia projects: both the gap around the f<a href="https://ojs.aaai.org/index.php/ICWSM/article/view/19271" target="[object Object]">requency of women’s biographies that include photos</a> and the systematic under-representation of  black and brown women and women from the Global South.

Each year, the Campaign prioritizes different themes as a call to action to add media as part of the campaign. For example, in 2023, they are elevating the intersectional challenges related to <a href="https://whoseknowledge.org/visiblewikiwomen-2023/" target="[object Object]">Body Plurality</a>.

Parts of the campaign have been particularly innovative at creating new space for types of contribution to Wikimedia projects, such as “Ilustratonas” -- events designed for <a href="https://whoseknowledge.org/resource/creating-drawings-for-wikipedia/" target="[object Object]">creating illustrations </a>where open license photos don’t exist. You can see a guide developed for new illustrators used<a href="https://whoseknowledge.org/resource/creating-drawings-for-wikipedia/" target="[object Object]"> as part of the campaign</a>.
