Event description
Art+Feminism is a campaign improving coverage of cis and transgender women, feminism and the arts on Wikipedia.

About The Black Lunch Table
The Black Lunch Table (BLT), an official Wikimedia Movement Affiliate, is an ongoing collaboration between artists Jina Valentine and Heather Hart  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.

More about BLT here.

About Where the Future Came From
Where the Future Came From focuses on the role of feminist artist-run activities in Chicago from the late 19th century to the present. Chicago has a deep history of artist-run activities. These projects are self-propelled programs that have been the lifeblood of Chicago’s contemporary art scene. In fact, many nationally and internationally recognized artists cut their teeth in such spaces. Where the Future Came From seeks to contextualize the role of feminism within that history and expand beyond work previously explored.

#VisibleWikiWomen challenge
Our friends at Whose Knowledge have a new campaign! We estimate that less than 20% of Wikipedia articles of important women have pictures. Black women are a fraction of that number. When women’s faces are missing from Wikipedia, that invisibility spreads. Half a billion people read Wikipedia every month and it is the 5th most visited website in the world, therefore gaps in Wikipedia have a large impact on the broader internet. Women’s knowledge and contributions to the world are invisible in so many ways. Together, we can address this and make women more visible online!

Creating a new page
Wikipedia articles follow certain guidelines: the subjects should be notable according to Wikipedia standards and be covered in detail in good references from independent sources. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia – it is not a personal home page or a business list. Do not use content from other websites even if you, your school, or your boss owns them. If you choose to create the article with only a limited knowledge of the standards here, you should be aware that other editors may delete it if it's not considered appropriate. To create full articles (as opposed to draft pages), your account must be at least 4 days (96 hours) old, and you must have made more than ten edits. Message us for help!

Translations
If you are fluent in another language you can help us by translating a page to English or an English page to your other language. Translation is not automatic. Learn more here.

Possible articles to edit
Suggested artist pages for revision and/or creation! This event-specific list focuses on important Chicago 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!'''
