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\u2019s 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\u2019s 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\u2019s work offers a timely meditation on memory, movement, and belonging.\n\nPresented with support from the U-M Institute for Humanities, the U-M LSA Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies, and the U-M Library.", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"149541-21906603@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/149541", "building_id":"null", "building_name":"Off Campus Location", "campus_maps_id":"1", "room":"", "location_name":"Stamps Gallery, 201 South Division Street Ann Arbor, Michigan 48104", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":["Art"], "website":"https:\/\/stamps.umich.edu\/events\/cosmo-whyte-under-the-quiet-beyond-the-eye", "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"Penny W Stamps School of Art & Design", "group_id":"3157", "website":"http:\/\/stamps.umich.edu\/" } ], "image_url":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/attachments\/2026\/09\/event_149541_original-4.jpg", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/09\/event_149541_original-4.jpg", "event_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/09\/event_149541_original-4.jpg", "event_large_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_large_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/09\/event_149541_original-4.jpg", "event_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2026\/09\/event_149541_original-4.jpg", "group_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/group_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/09\/event_149541_original-4.jpg", "group_thumb_square":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/group_thumb_square\/media\/attachments\/2026\/09\/event_149541_original-4.jpg", "group_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/group_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/09\/event_149541_original-4.jpg", "group_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/group_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2026\/09\/event_149541_original-4.jpg", "event_large_crop":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_large_crop\/media\/attachments\/2026\/09\/event_149541_original-4.jpg", "event_list":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_list\/media\/attachments\/2026\/09\/event_149541_original-4.jpg", "event_list_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/09\/event_149541_original-4.jpg", "event_grid":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_grid\/media\/attachments\/2026\/09\/event_149541_original-4.jpg", "event_grid_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_grid_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/09\/event_149541_original-4.jpg", "event_feature_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_feature_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/09\/event_149541_original-4.jpg", "event_feature_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_feature_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/09\/event_149541_original-4.jpg" }, "occurrence_count":67, "first_occurrence":21906594 } , "150404-21909173": { "datetime_modified":"20260917T103645", "datetime_start":"20260924T120000", "datetime_end":"20260924T130000", "has_end_time":1, "date_start":"2026-09-24", "date_end":"2026-09-24", "time_start":"12:00:00", "time_end":"13:00:00", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"DCMB Tools and Technology Seminar by Jeongbin Park (Computational Medicine & Bioinformatics)", "occurrence_title":"", "combined_title":"DCMB Tools and Technology Seminar by Jeongbin Park (Computational Medicine & Bioinformatics): \u201cHierarchical inference of spatial tissue niches and cellular composition using linked variational autoencoders\u201d", "event_subtitle":"\u201cHierarchical inference of spatial tissue niches and cellular composition using linked variational autoencoders\u201d", "event_type":"Workshop \/ Seminar", "event_type_id":"21", "description":"Abstract\n\nSpatially resolved transcriptomics (SRT) measures gene expression in thousands to millions of spatial locations, providing information on the spatial organization of various tissues. The spatial organization for complex tissues forms a hierarchical structure, from individual genes, to cell types and co-localized cell groups, to large spatial domains. Although many computational methods identify spatial domains using SRT data, modeling the hierarchical organization still needs improvement. Moreover, the latest SRT technologies (e.g., 10x Xenium and Visium HD) measure over 0.1 million spots, further challenging the scalability of previous computational methods. We developed COMPOSITION that models the hierarchical spatial structure of a tissue profiled by the latest SRT technologies and scales to the large number of spots in latest SRT technologies. We explicitly model the conditional probability relationships between adjacent layers of the tissue hierarchy in COMPOSITION and develop a neural network structure based on variational autoencoder (VAE) that enables fast inference of the posterior probability of the model.\n\nAbout the DCMB Tools & Technology Seminar Series\n\nThe DCMB Tools and Technology Seminar Series is held in Medical Science Building 1 (MS1), Room 4B700, each Thursday at 12pm EST.
