Wikipedia:Meetup/Black Lunch Table/EMCVPA Jamaica 2019



The Black Lunch Table (BLT) project will assist Prof. Dacres in a Wikipedia project for her Philosophy of Art course at Edna Manley College of Visual and Performing Arts in Spring 2019.

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.
