Wikipedia:Meetup/Black Lunch Table/BRIC House Stoop

As part of the 2016 BRIC Biennial, The Black Lunch Table (BLT) project at BRIC House Stoop will create, update, and improve Wikipedia articles pertaining to the lives and works of visual artists from the African Diaspora living or working in the Bedford-Stuyvesant or Crown Heights neighborhoods of Brooklyn. Together we will create historical documents that respond to the urgent need for a reconstruction of the art historical record.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 a library resources and a list of suggested artists, cultural creators, and institutions on hand.

[http://www.theblacklunchtable.com The Black Lunch Table (BLT)] is an ongoing collaboration between artists Jina Valentine ({{User0|Fishantena}}) and Heather Hart ({{User0|Heathart}}) 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.

BRIC is the leading presenter of free cultural programming in Brooklyn, and one of the largest in New York City. They present and incubate work by artists and media-makers who reflect the diversity that surrounds them. BRIC programs reach hundreds of thousands of people each year. Their main venue, BRIC Arts | Media House, offers a public media center, a major contemporary art exhibition space, two performance spaces, a glass-walled TV studio, and artist work spaces.

Some of BRIC’s most acclaimed programs include the BRIC Celebrate Brooklyn! Festival in Prospect Park, several path-breaking public access media initiatives, including BRIC TV, and a renowned contemporary art exhibition series. BRIC also offers education and other vital programs at BRIC House and throughout Brooklyn. In addition to making cultural programming genuinely accessible, BRIC is dedicated to providing substantial support to artists and media makers in their efforts to develop work and reach new audiences.

BRIC is unusual in both presenting exceptional cultural experiences and nurturing individual expression. This dual commitment enables us to most effectively reflect New York City’s innate cultural richness and diversity.

Suggested artist pages for revision and/or creation! This event-specific list focuses on important visual artists/art workers/collectors of the African Diaspora who have some connection to Charlotte and are under-represented on Wikipedia. Our master list can be found under our Tasks tab. Please add a name if you know a Black artist of note 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. But be sure they qualify according to Wikipedia's NOTABILITY guidlines. Thanks!
