Abstract
Please describe your proposal. Aim for 100 to 300 words.

Museums worldwide seek to advance their digital offerings to increase access to collections, enhance public programs, and reach broader audiences. It is also true that there is no one way of doing things for a forward-thinking institution. The inaugural Pérez Art Museum Miami Wikimedian in Residence program (2023-ongoing) is an initiative that supports global efforts on the representation and contextualization of art, artists, and visual culture on the internet through Wikimedia platforms. But what makes the WIR program at PAMM so unique? And why does it make sense to engage and include local artist communities in our Wiki work? In what ways can PAMM’s 20th- and 21st-century collection of art from the U.S. Latino experience, the African diaspora, Latin America, and the Caribbean teach us about digital engagement opportunities and knowledge access?
