Riham Abed-Ali (WMDE)

I joined Wikimedia Deutschland in May 2022 and work in the Marginalized Knowledge Program. Before joining WMDE, I worked as a research assistant and coordinator in different projects looking at the perspectives, lived realities and political demands of migrant communitys in Germany. In the process of designing one of our bigger projects, we - the Marginalized Knowledge team - started to determine the actual needs and concerns of the communitys we wanted to work with to come up with approaches that make these concerns the center and starting point of the conversation. I want to share our experiences in setting up processes that take power into account and coming up with collaborative approaches. I also want to hear from the experiences within the movement in navigating power imbalances within the open access and see where to go from there together.
