Expanding the collective understanding of the contributions and impact of gender-marginalized composers is integral to cultivating inclusivity and representation in music. Wikipedia is one of the most accessible platforms when it comes to raising awareness; however, many of the articles present overstate the family and relationships of gender-marginalized composers while severely understating their professional achievements.

BI's monthly Wikithons are designed to improve the coverage of gender-marginalized composers on Wikipedia by improving pages, updating language, and providing more extensive information surrounding the individuals and their music. All events include a brief tutorial, editing support, and everything you need to get started in making an impact! People of all gender identities and expressions are invited to participate.

Join us as we make much-needed updates and improvements to the Wikipedia pages of Grazyna Bacewicz, Lucrecia Roces Kasilag, Nobu Koda, Emilie Mayer, and Maddalena Laura Sirmen, all of whom were composers for violin.
