News On Wiki, Phase 2 complete

Abstract:

Black Lunch Table will discuss the importance of using different Wiki entities for equity and visibility and our unique approach to each.

Our talk will then look specifically at: Wikicommons, Visualizing Black artists and cultural workers through our Photobooth Project. Wikidata, The importance of using a dedicated property, on the focus list of, to aggregate and create lists as well as for SPARQL. Wikipedia, The most visible platform as a space for creating articles/biographies and closing the knowledge gap and increasing the representation of Black artists.
