The Black Lunch Table (BLT) project will host a living room edit-a-thon from 3:00 - 7:00 pm EST on Friday, December 23, 2016. Join us remotely for an afternoon of Wikipedia editing!

Event description

edit

The Black Lunch Table (BLT) project will create, update, and improve Wikipedia articles pertaining to the lives and works of visual artists from the African Diaspora. Together we will create historical documents that respond to the urgent need for a reconstruction of the art historical record, our historical record as a whole.

History of The Black Lunch Table

edit

The Black Lunch Table (BLT) is an ongoing collaboration between artists Jina Valentine (Fishantena (talk)) and Heather Hart (Heathart (talk)) which intends to fill holes in the documentation of contemporary art history. In its 10 year existence, the BLT has taken a variety of forms relating to this most recent iteration, in the form of the Wikipedia edit-a-thon. BLT’s aim is the production of discursive sites (at literal and metaphorical lunch tables), wherein cultural producers of color engage in critical dialogue on topics directly affecting our communities. They endeavor to create spaces, online and off, mirroring the activity and creativity present in sites where Blackness and Art are performed.

Possible articles to edit

edit

Suggested artist pages for revision and/or creation! This event-specific list focuses on important visual artists/art workers/collectors of the African Diaspora who have some connection to New York and are under-represented on Wikipedia. Our master list can be found under our Tasks tab. Please add a name if you know a Black artist of note who needs a page or needs editing. Please do not add an artist who has a substantial page. We are trying to create new pages and beef up under-represented ones. But be sure they qualify according to Wikipedia's NOTABILITY guidelines. Thanks!
