The Edit Your Pride project seeks to address issues relating to the editorial representation of queer artists and cultural practitioners working on the African continent. The first event of this initiative was a virtual edit-a-thon event hosted by the Iziko South African National Gallery in celebration of LGBTQIA+ Pride month 2020. This virtual edit-a-thon joined the existing global initiatives which engage with the under-representation of queer artists and cultural practitioners on Wikipedia and encourage editorship for African queer communities. A number of existing and new Wikipedian joined the event, where we learnt about editing Wikipedia, and collectively edited existing pages and created new articles for those working in the queer community. This initiative is ongoing, please feel free to join us in addressing these issues by creating or editing Wikipedia articles about queer artists, cultural producers, and organisations.
This is a non-exhaustive list which we've compiled of queer artists and cultural practitioners and organisations from or working in Africa that have an article on Wikipedia. You can add articles to edit to this list.
This is a non-exhaustive list which we've compiled that includes queer artists and cultural practitioners from or working in Africa that currently do not have an article on Wikipedia. If your name is on the list and you'd prefer not to be, please make contact on the talk page.
