About me

Hello, I'm Michaela Blanc! I am the Wikimedian in Residence (WIR) at the Pérez Art Museum Miami (January 2023 – present) and a Leadership Advisor for Art+Feminism. I first edited on Wikipedia in March 2020 under my main account. I edit in both Portuguese and English Wikipedias.

I am an art historian interested in global modern and contemporary visual arts, and I especially edit about gender and arts.

I have worked in GLAM institutions in the United States and Brazil, and my academic background is in Museum Studies/Museum Education and Art History at the graduate and undergraduate levels, respectively. I’m based in Pittsburgh, PA.

My work

As a Wikimedian, I contribute to Wiki projects by expanding the quality of existing articles and creating new ones; adding images to artists’ biographies; incorporating citations and trustworthy sources; structuring data; and leading public workshops having the Pérez Art Museum Miami collections and temporary exhibitions on Latin American and Latinx, Caribbean and Caribbean Diaspora, African Diaspora art as focal points. I collaborate with several cultural organizations as an event organizer of Art+Feminism Edit-a-thons across the world.
