The Black Lunch Table (BLT) project hosted its third edit-a-thon on Tuesday, November 10, 2015, Basquiat: Still Fly @ 55 from 6:00 pm - 8:30 p.m. The Museum of Modern Art staff, and folks from the local community, met in the museum's library for an evening of social Wikipedia editing.
The Black Lunch Table (BLT) project at The Museum of Modern Art will create, update, and improve Wikipedia articles pertaining to the lives and works of Black artists. Together we will create historical documents that respond to the urgent need for a reconstruction of the art historical record.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 library resources and a list of suggested topics on hand.
The Black Lunch Table (BLT) is an ongoing collaboration between artists Jina Valentine ( Fishantena ( talk)) and Heather Hart ( HartValentine ( 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.
Since 1929, The Museum of Modern Art has been a catalyst for conversation around art of the past and the present, the established and the experimental.
Join us for Wikipedia Edit-a-thon: Basquiat Still Fly @ 55, a social evening of creating, updating, and improving Wikipedia articles pertaining to the lives and works of black artists. Hosted at The Museum of Modern Art Library in celebration of Jean-Michel Basquiat’s 55th birthday and in partnership with AfroCROWD, NYU Africana Studies Program, Black Lunch Table, and Basquiat: Still Fly @ 55, this meetup will focus on closing the multicultural and gender gaps in Wikipedia.
All are invited, and no specialized knowledge of the subject or Wikipedia editing experience is required. We will provide training on editing Wikipedia, WiFi, reference materials, light refreshments, and childcare (sponsored by Afrocrowd). Please bring your laptop, power cord, and ideas for articles that need to be updated, translated, or created. All languages and beginners welcome. Light Refreshments will also be available.
Admission to the edit-a-thon is free, but please RSVP @ EventBrite.
Organized by The Museum of Modern Art in collaboration with AfroCROWD, NYU Africana Studies, Black Lunch Table, and Basquiat: Still Fly @ 55.
