Wikipedia-Workshop und Schreibwerkstatt: Puppentheater sichtbar machen

In the organizer's words:

We bring puppet theater makers out of the archive and into the light!

Artists and especially female artists from the field of puppet theater often do not appear in today's most common reference platforms such as Wikipedia. This is because puppet theater was considered a niche, not a serious culture "only" for children or as pure entertainment. And as in all the arts, female artists often did not receive the same public attention as their male colleagues.
We want to make their biographies more visible and you can help!

You are invited to research biographies in the Puppet Theater/Exhibition collection and then write texts for Wikipedia and online formats.
Anyone with a little time and curiosity can take part. No previous knowledge is required.

Dates:
July 4, 2025, 4-6 p.m.: Online workshop "Getting started with Wikipedia" with Kathrin Herwig (also possible on site in the interim building of the Munich City Museum)
July 20, 2025, 10 a.m. - 5 p.m.: Wikipedia writing workshop with Kathrin Herwig and Jan-Patrick Fischer
Important: Participation on July 20 requires attendance on July 4.

Optional: Preliminary research in the collection by arrangement
