Wikimedia NYC in partnership with the Black Lunch Table (BLT) project will host an edit-a-thon focusing on visual artists of the African Diaspora from 3:00 pm – 7:00 pm ET on Tuesday, February 26, 2019 at the Borough of Manhattan Community College in the Hudson Room (off the student cafeteria) at 199 Chambers Street, New York. A training session will be held at the beginning, but help is available throughout the event.
Some computers will be provided on a first-come, first served basis. If you have one, bring your laptop! Snacks provided.
Wikipedia NYC + Black Lunch Table (BLT) project at Borough of Manhattan Community College will create, update, and improve Wikipedia articles pertaining to visual artists of the African Diaspora. Together we will create historical documents that respond to the urgent need for a reconstruction of the art historical record.
All are invited, with no specialized knowledge of the subject or Wikipedia editing experience required. A brief overview of the basics of Wikipedia editing will be given at the start of the edit-a-thon.
The Wikimedia New York City organization is an official chapter of the Wikimedia Foundation, known for being the parent organization behind Wikipedia. The goal of the chapter is to support the New York tri-state area with educational initiatives, development of free culture, providing free central knowledge, and advocating for the best interests of the community.
The Black Lunch Table (BLT), an official Wikimedia Movement Affiliate, 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 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.
