Artist Marlon F. Hall will be our dinner dialogue facilitator. Marlon is nationally known for hosting salon dinners around tables featuring reclaimed doors to foster dialogue among diverse groups. With a background in facilitating meaningful interactions across diverse communities, Marlon bridges cultural and social divides through art and communal experiences. His ongoing project, “From a Door at the Center of a Table,” builds on over 200 curated dinners worldwide, blending art with anthropology to create transformative spaces.   

In Houston, he co-created The Hueman Project, a 3,600 sq ft mural and sculptural installation that has turned concrete pillars and an underpass wall into a narrative space that holds, honors, and amplifies the voices of individuals experiencing homelessness, turning a neglected underpass into a place of dignity, and belonging. Commissioned by Bloomberg Philanthropies, City of Houston, Midtown Management, and the Texas Department of Transportation, The Hueman Project serves as a visual meditation on the idea of home — exploring what it means to be whole in mind, body, and spirit — through the resilient stories of Houston’s unhoused community.
