A+W NZ Wikiproject Edit-a-thon & Walking Tour

We’re pleased to bring back the Walking Tour and Wikipedia Edit-a-thon as part of the Aotearoa Festival of Architecture 2024. The two part event will be held on Saturday 21st September and Sunday 22nd September 2024.

Women still make up less than 20% of biographies on wikipedia, and the New Zealand Women in Architecture WikiProject aims to fill the gaps in the digital realm and increase the visibility of prolific female Architects.

Originally inspired by Making Space, we will be continuing last year’s work to increase articles about women and non-binary people who work in architecture and related fields in or from Aotearoa New Zealand.

The walking tour will take you to three locations around Wynyard Quarter. Free license photos and images are a challenging aspect to filling out wikipedia articles. Attendees will be asked to take photos during the walking tour and upload them to WikiCommons to contribute to the online database!

The edit-a-thon will be held at Auckland Museum in the Learning Labs from 10:30am. An introductory tutorial will be held at 10:30am for new editors. Please bring your own device for both events, lunch will be provided.

Thank you to Wikimedia Aotearoa New Zealand for their generous sponsorship for the Walking Tour and Edit-a-thon!

Ornamenting the body - talk by Gina Hochstein

Sun 22nd Sep 2024, 5:30 pm - 8:00 pm

Objectspace - 13 Rose Road, Grey Lynn, Auckland 1021, New Zealand

My creative practice has evolved through my PhD research, exploring the languages and practices of International Style modernist architecture and jewellery. Challenging current notions of architectural image-making, I’ve created innovative artefacts that adorn the female form, with the understanding that this ornamentation directs our focus, creates experiences, enhances aesthetics, and transforms the body into an exhibition site. These ornaments embody symbolic roles that transcend time, place, and purpose and are experienced individually and socially.

Please arrive at 5:30pm for a 6:00pm start.
