We’re inviting Black artists, cultural workers, and supporters to join us for Wikicurious: Navigating Wiki as a Public Figure, an in-person workshop about Wikipedia and its sibling platforms. Co-hosted by Black Lunch Table (BLT) and Wikimedia NYC, this event is for those who may not be familiar with Wikipedia editing, but want to understand how it works, especially how Black artists are represented.

Many artists find that their Wikipedia pages—if they exist at all—contain outdated or inaccurate information, and are curious about how pages get created in the first place. This workshop will introduce the basics:

• How Wikipedia works and why it matters for artists
• What can be done if information is missing or incorrect
• How to navigate disputes about Wikipedia content
• How to add and update images on Wikimedia Commons
• How to make it easier for people to write accurately about your work

This will be a beginner-friendly, collaborative session—no prior experience with Wikipedia is needed. Whether you're an artist, writer, curator, or just curious, you're welcome to join.

There will also be a photo booth where attendees can have their portrait taken for personal use and to be uploaded to Wikimedia Commons.

Brunch style food and drinks will be provided.
