Kia ora,
My name is Kat (she/her). I began editing in November 2024 as a summer intern at the Auckland War Memorial Museum Tāmaki Paenga Hira, tasked with developing Wikipedia content for the Aotearoa New Zealand History Curriculum. I recently completed MA in Art History, and I am particularly passionate about feminist histories and women-focused art histories.
I have worked on some pages related to the local histories of Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland and Rotorua. My main interest, however, is to contribute to the Wikipedia Women in Red Project by creating pages on both contemporary and historical women artists, and other notable women in Aotearoa New Zealand's history.
I am currently undertaking a 12 week pilot project for The Fletcher Trust Archives which seeks to make the Archive's collection more publicly accessible through uploading images from the collection with no known copyright onto Wikidata, Wikimedia Commons and Wikipedia.
