Join Black Lunch Table for a workshop on updating Wikipedia entries to share, explore, and tell stories about architecture, design, and Black cultural production. The edit-a-thon will include training for beginner Wikipedians, reference materials, and group and individual editing. While participants are invited to choose their own entries to edit, this edit-a-thon focuses on the architects, artists, and designers featured in the exhibition Reconstructions: Architecture and Blackness in America and the related online course Reimagining Blackness and Architecture. This program will be facilitated by Eliza Myrie, Heather Hart, and Kearra Amaya Gopee and will include an introduction by the exhibition’s co-curator Mabel O. Wilson.
No prior Wikipedia editing experience is required. Participants will receive an email in advance of the program with instructions on how to create a Wikipedia account and other information to help you get started.
