About I HAVE A NAME Jon Linton Artist Activist I Have A Name invites audiences to come face to face with the unhoused crisis through the eyes and lens of artist and activist Jon Linton. A book of photographs an art exhibit and now a documentary filmI HaveANameis inspired by the lived experiences of Jon who in 2007 was moved to start making photographic portraits of men and women living on the streets of Phoenix Arizona. With the addition of a traveling outreach bus the mission expanded enabling Jon to engage deeply with unhoused men and women from Phoenix to Portland creating trust and dignity through the simple approach of asking peoples names. When philanthropist Adam Bronfman looked at Jons work and was able to see into the eyes of the people in the portraits through Jons compelling photography he felt inspired to produce a film that could capture the unhoused crisis in a new light.
