Heather Hart, Black Lunch Table co-founder, joins Assistant Professor Amber N. Wiley's Exhibition Seminar Art History class to share and discuss Wikipedia as a tool for writing underrepresented narratives.
Event description
editThe Black Lunch Table (BLT) project creates a space to encourage people of color and women to join the Wikimedia movement while also asking other editors to focus on gaps in coverage on Wikimedia. Together we will create historical documents that respond to the urgent need for a reconstruction of the art historical record.
History of The Black Lunch Table
editThe Black Lunch Table (BLT) intends to fill holes in the documentation of contemporary art history. In its 13 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.

editPossible articles to edit
editSuggested artist pages for revision and/or creation! This event-specific list focuses on notable alumni of Rutgers University of the Black diaspora. Please add a name if you know someone appropriate 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.

Models for writing a page about an artwork
editMany artwork pages begin as sections on the artist's page. Once you have enough information to warrant an independent page, here is a good example of how to format/write one:
