Open The Knowledge
SHORT FILM / 2021
Knowledge has a history of being closed.
It’s time to Open The Knowledge.
“Open the Knowledge is our call to everyone to promote radical knowledge equity, creating a living record of history, stories, and contexts for and by all people. Biases, under-representation, and inequities in our movement continue to close Wikimedia projects to much of the world’s people and knowledge.
Simply put: we cannot achieve the sum of all human knowledge without opening our resources, projects, and work to all human beings.
We are inviting all who support our mission and participate in our movement to help open the knowledge — making it more diverse, more equitable, accessible and inclusive. Because, when we open the knowledge, we open up its power, open the possibilities, and open ourselves as a movement to a world that changes every day. We make knowledge equity a reality.”
