The Black Lunch Table (BLT) project will host a virtual edit-a-thon during the Vancouver Art Book Fair. Participants will learn how to add and edit Wikipedia articles! A training session will be held at the beginning, but help is available throughout the event.
The Black Lunch Table (BLT) project at https://vancouverartbookfair.com will create, update, and improve Wikipedia articles pertaining to the lives and works of Black artists and also those who work in book arts and publishing. Together we will create & update texts 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 virtual edit-a-thon.
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 14 year existence, 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.
