Art+Feminism is a global network of activists that are increasing the visibility of women of arts all around the world. By Introducing Arctic Art+Feminism, we wanted to focus on women from Indigenous groups in the Arctic region.

As some may know, 2019 is UNESCO’s International Year of Indigenous Languages. In conjunction with that, Wikimedia Norge and other partners are organizing the Uralic Language Contest 2019 – an international writing contest aimed at increasing the content around Uralic minority languages (including the Sami languages) and the people who speak them, on Wikipedia.
Everyone is welcome to contribute – in any language!
