The Black Lunch Table (BLT) project will host an edit-a-thon in Trinidad & Tobago focusing on important but underrepresented visual artists, curators and art workers of the African Diaspora on Saturday, March 23, 2019 2-6pm at East Yard, (27 Prince St, Arima, Trinidad and Tobago). A training session will be held at the beginning, but help is available throughout the event. This event is free.
Photographer, Kearra Amaya Gopee, will be taking free portraits for Wikipedia in our Black Lunch Table photo booth!
Please bring your laptop so you can join the editing and bring a friend! If you have a hotspot to share, bring that too! The more, the merrier! Snacks provided.
The Black Lunch Table (BLT) project will create, update, and improve Wikipedia articles pertaining to the lives and works of artists from the African Diaspora from Trinidad & Tobago. Together we will create historical documents that respond to the urgent need for a reconstruction of the art historical record.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 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 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.
