The Black Lunch Table (BLT) project will host our FIRST overseas edit-a-thon focusing on important but underrepresented South African visual artists of African descent from 12:00 pm – 3:00 pm SAST on Tuesday, July 17, 2018 at A4 Arts Foundation,
23 Buitenkant St, Zonnebloem, Cape Town, 7925, South Africa. A training session will be held at the beginning, but help is available throughout the event.
A photographer will be taking free portraits for Wikipedia and for open source use!
Please bring your laptop. The more, the merrier! Snacks provided.
The Black Lunch Table (BLT) project at A4 Arts Foundation will create, update, and improve Wikipedia articles pertaining to the lives and works of South African visual artists of African descent and related subjects. Together we will create historical documents that respond to the urgent need for a reconstruction of the art historical record.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 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.

A4 ARTS is a non-profit organisation dedicated to supporting the arts in southern Africa. We understand the arts as a reciprocal resource, a catalyst for innovation, and a medium of collectivity.
A4 is focused towards practitioners, and seeks to accommodate and share exploratory creative processes. The space of A4 is a peopled place - embedded and adaptable, grounded and fluid - and we see ourselves as a part of and participants within a complex ecosystem.
Suggested artist pages for revision and/or creation! This event-specific list focuses on important New York area visual artists of the African Diaspora who are under-represented on Wikipedia. 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.
