Dear friends critical makers and wikimedians, we invite you to join us in a collaborative, participatory and distributed hybrid session on Wiki x Critical Making Making is very present in our lives. But what we are making is even more important. By the process of critical making, we believe that making is a form of critical reflection, pedagogical practice that provokes a social-critical attitude. The process creates an artifact that reflects on topics like gender, standardization, consumentarism, production and market systems.
Open knowledge platforms and knowledge commons contribute to the understanding of complexity by contributions of knowledge derived by practice that is traditionally locked within siloes. Wikis are platforms that could facilitate the development of knowledge based on commons and across languages-contexts.
The makermovement is diverse and has multiple forms and functions, nevertheless, we are driven by learning by doing and sharing our knowledge, media and data.
We would like to believe we can be strong together sharing our knowledge and expertise on critical making so we can identify with this empowering driver of our local makermovement and find a common ground to advocate for.
On Dec 12, we would like to invite you to participate in our collaborative wiki workshop. From 9 am to 12:30 we will set up a series of working groups on the following topics.
Technical info about wiki by Geert Van Pamel Wikimedia Belgium (NL spakers) and Wilson Oluoha from WikiAfrica (EN speakers). In this hands-on session you will learn how to make your organisation more visible on multiple wikimedia platforms.
