The Black Lunch Table in Seattle

Picture
Wa Na Wari is partnering with Black Lunch Table (BLT) to host a series of virtual roundtables for Seattle communities. 

November 20th, 2020 12pm-1pm (PST). 
To reserve your seat at the lunch table RSVP via this link. 


We would like to invite you to participate in one of our two roundtable discussions:
 
The People’s Table will take place 12:00pm PST Friday November 20th online.
This discussion is open to all, and fosters candid conversations amongst a diversity of people invested in these issues. The People’s Table discussions catalyze community dialogue around sociopolitical issues affecting historically disenfranchised populations.

The Artists Table will take place at 1:30pm PST Friday November 20th online. 
This roundtable is for Black Seattle-area visual artists, visual art historians, visual art writers, visual art curators and visual arts administrators. This affinity space for discussing critical issues strengthens the bonds within our nebulous community and validates shared concerns through exchange.

Black Lunch Table is a collaborative art project founded by artists Heather Hart and Jina Valentine that aims to fill gaps in the documentation of contemporary art history. 
 
BLT is an oral-history archiving project, the primary aim of which is the production of discursive sites, wherein cultural producers and community members engage in dialogue on a variety of critical issues. Organized around literal and metaphorical lunch tables, BLT takes the lunchroom phenomenon as its starting point. Roundtable sessions provide space and time for important discussions, bringing together a diverse group of people and fostering candid conversations.


The conversations recorded at these tables will be added to the archive of roundtables we have staged (inter)nationally and will be important in building this collectively authored history.  As “seating” is extremely limited for all events, we will send you an email to confirm your spot beforehand. Please follow this link to register!
