The Black Lunch Table (BLT) will host an edit-a-thon at The African American History, Culture and Digital Humanities (AADHum) Initiative at The University of Maryland on Tuesday March 3rd, from 2-3:30pm. We will create, update, and improve Wikipedia articles pertaining to the lives and works of Black visual artists. A brief overview of the basics of Wikipedia editing will be given at the start of the edit-a-thon. We will have resources and a list of suggested artists, cultural creators, and institutions on hand. All are invited, with no specialized knowledge of the subject or Wikipedia editing experience required.
History of The Black Lunch Table
[edit]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 15 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 creates a space to encourage people of color and women to join the Wikimedia movement while also asking white male editors to focus on gaps in coverage on Wikimedia. 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.
