Our focus will be on the exhibition Before Yesterday We Could Fly inspired by Seneca Village, and featured art, artists, history and culture of the African diaspora.

We look forward to seeing local Wikimedians, but would also like to invite folks from the greater New York metropolitan area (and beyond!) who might not typically be able to join us in person!

We are also running a Met Afrofuturist chat channel on our Wikimedia NYC Discord server for the whole monthlong campaign, you can join here and get help with working on articles on these topics together: https://discord.gg/gqSFqrY7bS

Thanks, Richard (User:Pharos)
