Marlon Hall

Social Media Archivist + Anthropologist

Marlon F. Hall’s life intention is to cultivate human potential in ways that are whimsically beautiful and positively willful. He is an international lecturing anthropologist, filmmaker, and cultural architect. He was recently named a Fulbright Specialist by the U.S. Department of Educational and Cultural Affairs and World Learning, is the Visual Anthropologist and Social Media Archivist for the Greenwood Art Project, 2019-2020 Houston Museum of African American Culture Fellow, and a 2021 Tulsa Arts Fellow. Marlon engages the choreography of visual anthropology, art-installations, and salon dinners to whimsically unearth community beauty from social brokenness. 

Marlon has a 20 year proven track record of cross-pollinating visual-anthropology and social sculpture to grow creative learning ecologies, lead community art projects, and architect entrepreneur incubators that are all framed in his anthro-film making. Today his work is rooted in Cultural Amnesia Therapy because imagination can be fueled by memory. Communities that are heritage rich but resource poor, can forget the greatness of the past. This makes it hard to imagine present value and future visions.
