Matthew Fielding Terrell
Matthew Terrell writes, photographs, and creates videos in the fine city of Atlanta. Terrell's work can be found regularly on VICE, Slate, Huffington Post, and Mic.com, where he covers subjects such as the queer art in the South, media culture, and gay mens' health issues. Previous works by the artist include "Atlanta's HIV+ Population Now" at The National Center for Civil and Human Rights, which used CDC data to chart HIV growth in Atlanta; as well as "We All Live With HIV," which was a series of publicly displayed mirrors printed with this message. He has been an artist in residence at Djerassi, Atlantic Center for the Arts, Serenbe, and The Studios of Key West. In 2014, Terrell found a forgotten fragment of a Keith Haring mural at Children's Healthcare of Atlanta-it was his most proud achievement. Terrell received his BFA and MFA in writing from Savannah College of Art and Design; he also has an MA in communications from Georgia State University. Terrell currently works as the communications director for Dad's Garage Theatre, where he helps to publicize a bunch of knucklehead improvisational actors.
