I Have A Name
The "I Have A Name Project" is something I have been following for awhile now. It brings awareness to the issues of homelessness in America through social media, being active on the streets with the homeless, and also through occasional art shows. They mainly deal with those in the Arizona are, but they still gain a great deal of press nationwide. Specifically the art shows they curate to gain donations and awareness are what interest me the most. I'd like to continue working with artwork that is driven from social issues and further use them to draw attention to the issues. I also think I would really enjoy partnering with a non-profit or even starting one sometime in the future.
This article from USA Today is one I just recently stumbled upon but relates to what has been driving my work recently. I want the artwork I do about social issues to begin conversations among the viewers, like the use of social media does in this article.
