The Black Lunch Table (BLT) project hosted an edit-a-thon focusing on important but underrepresented New York area visual artists of the African Diaspora from 6:00 pm – 9:00 pm EST on Thursday, January 11, 2018 at The Triangle Arts Association. A training session was held at the beginning, but help is available throughout the event.
Please bring your laptop and feel free to bring a friend!
The Black Lunch Table (BLT) project at Triangle Arts Association will create, update, and improve Wikipedia articles pertaining to the lives and works of New York area visual artists from the African Diaspora and their work. Together we will create historical documents that respond to the urgent need for a reconstruction of the art historical record.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. We will have a library resources and a list of suggested artists and music on hand.
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.

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. We are trying to create new pages and beef up under-represented ones.
These articles are suggested, be sure they qualify according to Wikipedia's
NOTABILITY guidlines before you create a new page. Thanks!
