Wikipedia:Meetup/Black Lunch Table/CAA editathon 2021



Black Lunch Table (BLT) will host an online edit-a-thon during the annual CAA Annual Conference 2021.

Event description
Black Lunch Table (BLT) will host an online edit-a-thon open to all that focuses on important but underrepresented visual artists, curators, and art workers of the African Diaspora and those associated with New York City. A training session will be held at the beginning but help is available throughout the event. This event is free.

Black Lunch Table (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. Together we will create historical documents that respond to the urgent need for a reconstruction of the art historical record.

About 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 14 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.
