I Have A Name

2025 / 40 min / US

Director: Eric S. Vaughn

Event Hosts: Bisi Williams and Bruce Mau

Join us for a 45-minute screening of I Have A Name, followed by a 45-minute conversation with global design leaders Bisi Williams and Bruce Mau of Massive Change Network. Drawing from their work on “Thorny Opportunities,” Williams and Mau will share insights into how we can design the world we need—starting with the unhoused crisis. Their talk will reflect on lessons learned from a Life-Centered Design workshop conducted earlier that day with college students.

I Have A Name, presented by Theorem Media and Adam Bronfman, brings audiences face-to-face with the unhoused crisis through the eyes of artist and activist Jon Linton. What began as a 2007 photo project on the streets of Phoenix has evolved into a national movement, now captured in this powerful film. Through the simple act of asking unhoused individuals their names, Linton creates portraits that restore dignity and visibility to those too often overlooked.

This public screening and conversation with Williams and Mau will offer an opportunity to engage in a deeper conversation about how art can influence designers and become a tool for positive change. (ADFF)
