Project idea

edit

What is the problem you're trying to solve?

edit

Artists often donot know how Wikipedia works. Also they are afraid of technology. At the same time their work is very inspiring and contemporary art deals with everyday questions and democratic issues.

What is your solution?

edit

Observing that artists want to get their ideas into the public it can be very inspiring to help them and to encourage communities to do so. It would be great to enpower contemporary art to get it more transparent for the society.

Who will you be doing outreach with?

edit

Kulturwerk des bbk berlin, Verein Berliner Künstler
