About BLT Photo Booth

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. The core activity of the BLT Wikimedians user group is edit-a-thons. It allows BLT as a user group to work together to increase the information and participation about and by our community. It also allows us to invite all editors to focus on the knowledge gap that exists around the lives and works of Black artists on the platform.

Recognizing that Wikipedia is not the only platform that lacks information about the lives of Black artists, the BLT Photo Booth increases images of Black artists on Wiki Commons. To make notable artists that fall in the Wiki gaps more visible, BLT invites professional photographers to host a pop-up portrait studio at events and make that work open license for free use, edit and distribution.
