The Black Lunch Table (BLT) project will host an edit-a-thon at Rutgers' Art Library focusing on important but underrepresented visual artists, curators and art workers of the African Diaspora on Tuesday, February 18, 2020 from 2pm-5pm. A training session will be held at the beginning but help is available throughout the event. This event is free.
Please bring your laptop to join the editing! Limited space, so please RSVP here. Snacks provided.
The 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 Together we will create historical documents that respond to the urgent need for a reconstruction of the art historical record.
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.
