Le Donne di Villa Massimo
Le Donne di Villa Massimo
The edit-a-thon in Rome focusses on women at the German academy in Rome Villa Massimo. The academy is financed by the German culture ministry and hosting international guests.
It has been the second edit-a-thon inside the Villa Massimo. The first one took place in 2024 and was a cooperation with WMIT.
This one was a cooperation with the DACH chapters: WMDE, WMAT and WMCH.
User:Käthe17 also received a grant from WMCH. This was a small grant taking care of the lunch and dinner during the event.
The group invited was the Ku-Wiki group. This is a group of art historians that meet regular online and in person. The group consists out of professionals from GLAM institutions: professors, freelancers, students.
The team is well connected to the scene in Rome, an international network of culture.

At the Villa Massimo we could use a great working space and had inspiring talks on culture besides writing articles on the presented artists at the Villa Massimo and their subjects. Besides there was a programme on further cultural institutions in Rome as the Bibliotheca Hertziana and the Swiss institute. Rome is traditional centre of cultural heritage.
The Istituto Svizzero was a highlight with good wheather and the group climbing up to the roof. The exhibition presented was on decolonialisation. The work of Latefa Wiersch has been inspiring.
