Last Friday, June 23 from Wikiesfera and in coordination with Medialab Slaughterhouse (@medialabMM) in Madrid we dedicated a day to make visible in Wikipedia to fantasy and science fiction authors through the creation and translation of their biographies. This activity was the last face-to-face editatona of this course 22-23 that we organized in the Aulario de Matadero and we wanted to celebrate it with personalized cookies with images linked to Wikiesfera, which we commissioned from the company Acaramelada (@acaramelada_com).

> Guest

As in each editatona, we invite an expert in the subject that we are going to deal with. On this occasion, we have the journalist, critic and researcher specialized in popular culture and feminism Elisa McCausland (@reinohueco), of the Collective of Comic Book Authors (AC) and author with Diego Salgado (@DiegoS_lgado) of the book Supernovae: A Feminist History of Audiovisual Science Fiction, which told us about the importance of knowing and rescuing the genealogies of the authors of the world of fantasy and science fiction.

Apart from the author's book, Supernovae, which we gave to the participants of the editatona, Elisa McCausland brought us a series of essential publications, both essays and project pages, to know the history of women in the field of fantasy, science fiction, terror and comics.
