Swiss GLAM Programme
Wikimania
In August the Wikimania took place in Poland. As it was this year in Europe it was possible to travel by train. Switzerland was represented by two staff members as well as about 8 community and GLAM people. As we cooperate with Open GLAM CH from Open Data CH it has been an opportunity to intensify the exchange with open Data formats besides many other interesting cooperations.
Performance Arts
Together with SAPA Foundation, the Swiss Archive of the Performing Arts, we are working on the visibilty of performance art in Switzerland. Please find here our blog on Diff. 11.000 images have been uploaded. Several edit-a-thons take place in September that are listed on the project page.
Femmes Artist Table

The KBCB is a museum with a library in Biel/Bienne at the language border of German and French where every last Friday of each month the GLAM community has Meetups. The association FATart presented their aim and projects that also involved a cooperation with Wikimedia CH in order to create more articles about relevant female artists. The idea raised as female artists find it difficult to speak about their artwork after all the experiences of being left out from the art canon. It is about sitting together at the table and talking about female art. In the mixed group two men had great ideas on how to work on closing the gaps.
