Terri Garland American, 1953- Since 1989 Terri Louise Garland has photographed white supremacist groups in an effort to understand racism and hatred in contemporary American society. Monitoring the activities of 250 to 300 organizations in the United States, she has gained the trust of several groups whose members have allowed her entry into their homes, social gatherings, and rallies. With the objective eye of a social documentarian, Garland presents her subjects nontheatrically in their everyday pursuits. Her color photographs show Klan-costumed men, women, and, children—troubling visions that celebrate home and family and, at the same time, reveal the subjects' hatred and propensity for violence toward those different from themselves. In 1991 her images were shown in a one-person exhibition, American White Racism, at the School of Journalism, University of California, Berkeley, and received harsh criticism from those who felt the work too controversial. Born in Santa Cruz, California, Garland studied photography at the San Francisco Art Institute (B.F.A., 1987, M.F.A., 1990) and since 1990 has taught at San Jose City College. She has received several honors, including awards from the Photometro documentary competition (1990) and the Monterey Museum of Art (1990), and a westaf/nea Regional Photography Fellowship (1991). Garland lives in Aptos, California. A.W.
