Wikipedia:Meetup/Black Lunch Table/MiA



The Black Lunch Table (BLT) will host an online edit-a-thon with The Minneapolis Institute of Art, Walker Art Center, Weisman Art Museum, and The Minnesota Museum of American Art. 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.

About Black Lunch Table
Black Lunch Table (BLT) is a nonprofit organization and sixteen-year ongoing collaboration. BLT’s primary aim has been the production of discursive sites, wherein cultural producers engage in dialogue on a variety of critical issues.

Black Lunch Table Wikimedians mobilize the creation and improvement of a specific set of Wikipedia articles that pertain to the lives and works of Black artists. In the field of mainstream contemporary art, Black artists are still marginalized within our field.

Wikipedia estimates that 77% of their editors are white and 91% of their editors are men. Our work shifts this demographic and empowers people to write their own history. Our sessions and events, including BLT Photobooth and edit-a-thons, equip new editors with the skills and resources to create, update, and improve Wikipedia articles and encourages existing editors to focus on Wikipedia knowledge gaps.
