The Black Lunch Table (BLT) project hosted its second edit-a-thon on Monday, July 13, 2015, from 6:00 pm - 8:00 p.m. Join us, the Museum of Modern Art staff, and folks from the local community in the museum's library for an evening of social Wikipedia editing.

Event description

The Black Lunch Table (BLT) project at The Museum of Modern Art will create, update, and improve Wikipedia articles pertaining to the lives and works of Black artists. Together we will create historical documents that respond to the urgent need for a reconstruction of the art historical record.

All are invited, with no specialized knowledge of the subject or Wikipedia editing experience required. A brief overview of the basics of Wikipedia editing will be given at the start of the edit-a-thon. We will have library resources and a list of suggested topics on hand.

May 17, 2015: Black Lunch Table editathon @ Studio Museum in Harlem -- first BLT editathon
June 24, 2015: Wiki Loves Pride @ MoMA -- the first of a monthly series on different themes
July 13, 2015: Black Lunch Table editathon @ MoMA (today's event) -- the second of a monthly series on different themes

= History of The Black Lunch Table =

[http://www.theblacklunchtable.com The Black Lunch Table (BLT)] is an ongoing collaboration between artists Jina Valentine ({{User0|Fishantena}}) and Heather Hart ({{User0|HartValentine}}) which intends to fill holes in the documentation of contemporary art history. In its 10 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.

= MoMA =

Since 1929, The Museum of Modern Art has been a catalyst for conversation around art of the past and the present, the established and the experimental.
