Biography[]

Darryl DeAngelo Terrell was born in 1991 in Detroit, Michigan, where he was also raised.[2] He attended Wayne State University, where he graduated with a B.F.A. degree in 2015.[5][6] Followed by study at School of the Art Institute of Chicago, where Terrell received a M.F.A. degree in photography in 2018.[3][7][8]

While attended graduate school, he began experimenting with performance art, and explored gender expression; and for this he created an alter-ego, "Dion".[1][2] The performance work by Dion was foundation to his photograph, I Look Like My Momma (Self-portrait 1980).[2] His 2017 work, #Project20s, was photographs of 200 black or brown people in their 20s before he turned age 30.[2][9]

He has been awarded the Kresge Arts Fellowship (2019),[1][10] Document Detroit Fellowship (2019), and the Luminarts Fellowship in Visual Arts (2018). Terrell's work is included in the permanent art collection at the Art Institute of Chicago.[11]
