Say My Name – Unley is a community-based project that responds to the situation of people not getting your name right. It playfully documents local residents saying their own names correctly plus the other multiple versions they have been called over the years. These videos are then housed on a website and promoted across social media. Images of each of the participants are featured on posters placed around the City of Unley, with QR codes to access their corresponding videos.
Lead artists and concept: Rosina Possingham & Paul Gazzola
Videographer: George Graetz
