SUMMARY:Tours:Staff Explorer Pass | Guided Tour: Cosmo Whyte's *Under the Quiet\, Beyond the Eye*
DESCRIPTION:Stamps Gallery kicks off the Fall 2026 semester with an ambitious mid-career survey of interdisciplinary artist Cosmo Whyte. Born and raised in Jamaica\, Whyte completed a BFA from Bennington College and earned an MFA from the University of Michigan. He is currently a faculty member at the School of the Arts and Architecture\, UCLA.\n\nThis exhibition brings together two central concerns that animate Whyte’s artistic practice: the archive\, both personal and public\, as a site of disturbance\; and migration as a lived experience of refuge\, refusal\, and reinvention. In Whyte’s work\, the archive is never static or neutral. Rather\, it is a contested space where official histories encounter memory\, inheritance\, and the fragments of stories carried across generations. His practice moves within this charged interstitial terrain\, between what has been recorded and what has been remembered\, between institutional knowledge and embodied experience. Whyte invites the viewer to consider the fluidity of geographic borders and layered cultural identities that have persisted despite societal unrest caused by racial and socio-economic hierarchies across generations. In an era of intensified border politics and renewed debates over national identity\, Whyte’s work offers a timely meditation on memory\, movement\, and belonging.\n\n••••••\n*This program is part of the Michigan Arts Festival Staff Explorer Pass. In partnership with Voices of the Staff\, the U-M Arts Initiative is offering limited complimentary tickets for select campus events and extra special experiences for U-M staff members all throughout October!*

Her father and the stepmother who raised her couldn’t have loved her more\, but she still grew up with a healthy dread of disasters.\n\n\nNow an adult\, she runs the Rhode Island Department for Emergency Preparedness\, mapping out ways to save lives during storms\, epidemics\, and airplane crashes. She and her husband\, Jesse—a police polygraph expert with his own history of crisis—have found a love that is a solace in a dangerous world. But then the unexpected upends their new marriage\, leading them both to question everything they thought they knew.\n\n\nMoving between past and present\, Hollow Bones is an epic story of the lies we tell ourselves as we write the narratives of our lives\, the plans we design to protect ourselves at the worst moments\, and the ties that bind mothers and daughters. \n\n\nNot able to join us?
