About Black Lunch Table

Black Lunch Table (BLT)is a nonprofit organization and sixteen-year ongoing artist 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.

About the Pratt Institute Anti-Racism Symposium

The Pratt Institute Anti-Racism Symposium is a daylong conference advancing dialogues on anti-racism while uplifting school and departmental art and design leaders. The Anti-Racism Symposium will be hosted by the Office of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion and the conference will open with a grounding welcome address, followed by a series of workshops, and end with a closing address.
