SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Penny Stamps Speaker Series - Cosmo Whyte
DESCRIPTION:\n\nCosmo Whyte is an interdisciplinary artist working across drawing\, installation\, photography\, and sculpture. His research-driven practice examines interstitial subjectivity through intimate and public archives\, Black spatiality\, and practices of resistance. His work is organized around two interconnected approaches: The Archive as Threshold / Site of Disturbance and Migration as Refuge / Refusal. The first considers the archive not as a fixed repository but as a constrained structure shaped by embedded histories\, asking how its limits might be unsettled and reactivated. The second frames migration as an open-ended\, unfinished process that disrupts stable notions of identity and belonging.\n\nBeginning with an interrogation of his own racialized and gendered body and the personal memories embedded within it\, Whyte uses the intimate archive as an entry point into broader collective and political questions. His work challenges the archive as a force that seeks to fix and preserve history\, instead exploring how its boundaries might be breached to reveal the complexities\, contradictions\, and lived experiences contained within. Through this process\, he considers migration not simply as movement from one place to another\, but as an ongoing condition of refuge\, refusal\, and transformation.\n\n Whyte’s work has been presented in solo exhibitions at The Arts Club of Chicago\, Anat Ebgi (Los Angeles)\, Lux Art Institute\, MOCA GA\, and Johnson Lowe Gallery\, among others. His work has also been featured in group exhibitions at the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago\, El Museo del Barrio’s LA TRIENAL\, Prospect.5 New Orleans\, The Drawing Center\, the 13th Havana Biennial\, and the High Museum of Art. His honors include awards from the Pollock-Krasner Foundation\, the Harpo Foundation\, Artadia\, Art Matters\, the Louis Comfort Tiffany Foundation\, the MOCA GA Working Artist Program Award\, the Edge Award\, and the Dartmouth College Artist-in-Residence Award. Whyte is the area head of painting/ drawing and an associate professor in UCLA’s Department of Art. He earned an MFA from the University of Michigan’s Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design.\n\nCoinciding with his Penny Stamps Speaker Series appearance\, Stamps Gallery will present Cosmo Whyte: Under the Quiet\, Beyond the Eye\, an ambitious\, mid-career survey exhibition\, from September 11–December 12\, 2026. Directly after Whyte’s September 24 presentation\, an artist Q&A and exhibition reception will take place at Stamps Gallery (201 S. Division St.) from 6:30-8:30 p.m. \n\nPresented in partnership with the U-M Stamps Gallery.\n\nSeries presenting partners: Detroit PBS\, ALL ARTS\, and PBS Books. Media partner: Michigan Public.\n\n

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:FYRST Workshops 2026 - 2027
DESCRIPTION:If you are only seeing one workshop\, please SIGN-IN and refresh the Sessions page! If still having issues\, click this link. \nFirst-Year Relationship and Sexuality Talk (FYRST) is a required\, in-person\, and peer-facilitated workshop that came directly from feedback and listening sessions with current University of Michigan students. Our goal is to create an accessible\, supportive space for student-driven conversations where all identities and experiences are welcomed and in which students can build skills and tools around identifying goals and values and then communicate effectively about those. Workshops will be offered at multiple locations and times throughout the fall semester\, so please sign up for the workshop that works for you!! First-Year Relationship Sexuality Talk (FYRST) FAQ:\n“How many workshops do I have to sign up for?”\nYou only need to sign up for 1 workshop. Attending 1 workshop will fulfill the requirement for the training. \n“I see that there is more than one session\, does it matter which one I sign up for?”\nIt generally does not matter which workshop you sign up for. There will be a few that are designated for specific groups such as transfer students or for students looking for accommodations. If you do not fit these groups please try to save these workshops for those that do and you are free to choose among any of the other workshops. \n“Is this workshop required?”\nThis workshop is required for all transfer and first-year students at the University of Michigan.\n“I’ve experienced harm around relationships or sexual experiences in the past and I am worried that attending this workshop may be harmful for me.” \nOur team is aware that students who are coming into the university that have experienced harm in the past. Our workshop is specifically designed to respect and validate the experiences of survivors and has been carefully constructed to avoid any specific descriptions of violence and focus instead on themes of empowerment\, communication\, and boundary setting. However\, if you still have concerns about programming and would like to request alternative programming\, please feel free to reach out at SAPAC-FYRST@umich.edu.\n“What if I struggle to learn in a presentation setting? I’m an active learner.”\nOur workshop is built to meet a variety of learning styles\, including time for self-reflection\, small group sharing\, and resources to take with you to work through on your own time! This workshop is meant to be interactive and inclusive. \n“Can I request accommodations?”\nWe considered accessibility in creating this workshop and selecting the locations in which the workshops are help. However\, we recognize many places at the University are inaccessible and we've set an * next to workshops that are on the first floor and lack stairs. These workshops also will have a presentation (other workshops we do not) and are a good fit for those who might need a large font. Please sign up for those if you feel that accommodations would assist you and reach out to SAPAC-FYRST@umich.edu if you are concerned or have questions. \n“I missed my workshop\, what should I do ?”\nOur team tracks attendance at each workshop by having participants swipe in with their MCard. If you are not able to attend the workshop you signed up for\, our team will continue to send reminder emails until you have completed a workshop. In this case\, please sign up for another workshop as soon as you can as the workshop is required and may fill up especially near the end of the semester. No need to contact SAPAC unless you are not able to reschedule. \n“I have had gender-based violence training before\, can I get this requirement waived?”\nAs this workshop was designed with University of Michigan student feedback in mind\, our workshop is unique to the UM community. Our curriculum focuses on individualized reflection and because of its interactive nature\, each workshop will be unique to the people attending. Although we are excited you already have familiarity with the subject\, this workshop is required for every first year and transfer student. \n“I’m a commuter/non-traditional student\, do I still have to attend?\"\nYes\, this workshop is required for every first-year and transfer student - not only do we want every student to benefit from having this time to connect with peers\, but we also want to make sure your peers benefit from what you bring to our community. If you have any concerns or questions about being able to participate\, please contact SAPAC-FYRST@umich.edu.\n“I still have questions! Who should I contact?\"\nPlease contact us at SAPAC-FYRST@umich.edu.
