Archtober Wikipedia Edit-a-thon
Sunday, October 27, 2019
12-4 pm
Bard Graduate Center Lecture Hall, 38 West 86 Street
FREE with RSVP

Celebrate Archtober, New York City’s architecture and design month, at Bard Graduate Center! BGC along with Wikimedia NYC and Architexx, will host a Wikipedia Edit-a-thon to address the lack of information on Wikipedia about contributions by women, LGBTQI communities, and artists of color to the fields of architecture and design history. The event is designed to improve coverage of the arts on Wikipedia. The edit-a-thon will include tutorials for the beginner Wikipedian, ongoing editing support, reference materials, and refreshments. No prior Wikipedia experience is needed, but please bring a laptop if possible.

Curator’s Spotlight Tour with Maude Bass-Krueger
October 16, 2019
6:00-7:30pm

Join us for a special tour, of French Fashion, Women, and the First World War. Curator, Maude Bass-Krueger (BGC PhD ’16), will give you unprecedented access to her thoughts about the intersection of fashion, design, and French culture. Learn about the fashions that defined this pivotal moment in French history, including never-before-seen garments from the archives of major designers such as Jeanne Lanvin and Gabrielle “Coco” Chanel; mourning wear; and clothing worn by nurses, ambulance drivers, and remplaçantes (women who took on jobs previously done by men who were now away at the Front).

      <p><strong>Curator’s Spotlight Tour with Maude Bass-Krueger<br />
</strong><strong>October 16, 2019<br />
</strong><strong>6:00-7:30pm</strong></p>
<p class="p1">Join us for a special tour, of <a href="https://www.bgc.bard.edu/gallery/exhibitions/98/french-fashion-women-and-the">French Fashion, Women, and the First World War</a>. Curator, Maude Bass-Krueger (BGC PhD ’16), will give you unprecedented access to her thoughts about the intersection of fashion, design, and French culture. Learn about the fashions that defined this pivotal moment in French history, including never-before-seen garments from the archives of major designers such as Jeanne Lanvin and Gabrielle “Coco” Chanel; mourning wear; and clothing worn by nurses, ambulance drivers, and <i>remplaçantes</i> (women who took on jobs previously done by men who were now away at the Front).</p>
