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":"149541-21906611@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-3.jpg", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/09\/event_149541_original-3.jpg", "event_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/09\/event_149541_original-3.jpg", "event_large_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_large_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/09\/event_149541_original-3.jpg", "event_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2026\/09\/event_149541_original-3.jpg", "group_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/group_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/09\/event_149541_original-3.jpg", "group_thumb_square":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/group_thumb_square\/media\/attachments\/2026\/09\/event_149541_original-3.jpg", "group_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/group_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/09\/event_149541_original-3.jpg", "group_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/group_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2026\/09\/event_149541_original-3.jpg", "event_large_crop":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_large_crop\/media\/attachments\/2026\/09\/event_149541_original-3.jpg", "event_list":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_list\/media\/attachments\/2026\/09\/event_149541_original-3.jpg", "event_list_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/09\/event_149541_original-3.jpg", "event_grid":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_grid\/media\/attachments\/2026\/09\/event_149541_original-3.jpg", "event_grid_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_grid_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/09\/event_149541_original-3.jpg", "event_feature_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_feature_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/09\/event_149541_original-3.jpg", "event_feature_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_feature_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/09\/event_149541_original-3.jpg" }, "occurrence_count":67, "first_occurrence":21906594 } , "150763-21910141": { "datetime_modified":"20260915T164156", "datetime_start":"20261006T120000", "datetime_end":"20261006T180000", "has_end_time":1, "date_start":"2026-10-06", "date_end":"2026-10-06", "time_start":"12:00:00", "time_end":"18:00:00", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"Democracy Week | Beacon of Democratic Resilience: Visual Truths and the Legacy of Korea's 5\u00b718 Democratization Movement - A Photographic Archive of the May 1980 People\u2019s Uprising in Korea", "occurrence_title":"", "combined_title":"Democracy Week | Beacon of Democratic Resilience: Visual Truths and the Legacy of Korea's 5\u00b718 Democratization Movement - A Photographic Archive of the May 1980 People\u2019s Uprising in Korea", "event_subtitle":"", "event_type":"Exhibition", "event_type_id":"7", "description":"Link to the official event poster: \nhttps:\/\/myumi.ch\/kVdVV\n\nFor parking information, please visit this link: https:\/\/www.dc.umich.edu\/about-the-dc\/maps-floor-plans-hours\/#parking\n\nExhibition Opening Event: \n- When: Friday, September 18, 5 pm to 6 pm\n- Where: Duderstadt Center Gallery\n- Open to the public\n- Description: Please join us for the opening of this photo exhibition. The event will feature remarks by the organizers, the exhibition curators, one of the featured photojournalists, and a former Peace Corps volunteer who has stood in solidarity with the people of Gwangju since 1980. Light refreshments are provided. \n\n*Exhibition Description*\nThis photo exhibition features 90 curated images from the UNESCO-inscribed May 18 Archives. Documenting the May 18\u201327, 1980 democratization uprising in Gwangju, South Korea, the collection captures the shift from peaceful student protests to military violence and unified citizen resistance, carried out under a complete blackout as civilians and photojournalists risked their lives to photograph atrocities and smuggle film past cordons. Beyond serving as historical artifacts, these preserved visual truths offer a living blueprint for popular resilience against authoritarianism, transforming local trauma into a universal defense of human rights. Displaying these records at Michigan bridges 1980 Gwangju with our present moment, inviting viewers to engage past resistance in the ongoing effort to defend democracy today.\n\n*Exhibition Composition*\nThe exhibit will be composed of a visual narrative comprised of six chronological sections and two additional special sections:\n\n1. Protest (May 5\u201316, 1980): \nFollowing the collapse of Park Chung-hee\u2019s military dictatorship in October, 1979, Gwangju students and citizens held peaceful rallies for campus autonomy and the end of martial law. Photos from this era show orderly marches and hopeful faces, capturing a society on the brink of change before the structural contradictions shifted toward state-led violence. \n\n2. Suppression (May 18\u201319, 1980): \nA new junta government led by Chun Doo-hwan extended martial law to the entire country on May 17. Students at Chonnam National University protested against the new junta government\u2019s decision. State violence escalated as paratroopers, who were deployed to Gwangju, engaged student protesters. Streets became scenes of brutal beatings and kidnappings. Beyond documenting victims, the images on display in this section serve as primary historical evidence and legal proof of the military's methods and the sudden transformation of citizens into targets of control. \n\n3. Uprising (May 20\u201321, 1980): \nThe movement shifted into a popular struggle. Vehicles lined up in Gwangju\u2019s main thoroughfare, Geumnam-ro. This massive vehicle parade symbolized the people becoming active subjects of resistance. The military was given the order to use live ammunition against civilians. In reaction, the city became a space of voluntary mobilization and citizens emerged as historical political actors. \n\n4. Resistance (May 22\u201326, 1980): \nWhile isolated and cut off from communications, Gwangju established an autonomous system of self-governance. Photos in this section testify to the efforts made to establish a sense of order based on solidarity\u2014sharing food and donating blood\u2014rather than chaos. The formation of this \"Daedong (Great Unity) Community\" and the visual documentation thereof serve as foundations of democracy in South Korea. \n\n5. Massacre (May 27, 1980): \nThe uprising was crushed by a dawn military operation. While the armed resistance ended, the resulting photographs of the aftermath reveal the stark reality of the massacre. These images became the catalyst for future truth-seeking movements and the pursuit of historical justice in South Korea. \n\n6. Mourning: \nScenes of coffins, portraits, and silent vigils represent a collective ethical gaze. During this period, mourning was more than a display of grief; it was a communal act used to redefine the city\u2019s identity and establish new moral standards for justice.\n\n7. Special Section A: The Photographers\nThis special section highlights the domestic and international photographers who documented the uprising. This includes Korean journalists alongside US journalists Robin Moyer and Norman Thorpe, French correspondents Patrick Chauvel and Fran\u00e7ois Lochon, and German cinematographer J\u00fcrgen Hinzpeter. Their images transcend simple reporting, reflecting a moral commitment to record and a historical duty to ensure remembrance. Rather than viewing these photos solely as evidence, the exhibition reinterprets them through a lens of photographic history\u2014examining their context, distribution, and how they transformed raw records into social truth and collective memory.\n\n8. Special Section B: The Peace Corps: Americans Who Helped Gwangju\nWhen Gwangju was isolated under martial law in May 1980, four American Peace Corps volunteers\u2014Tim Warnberg, David Lee Dolinger, Judi Chamberlin, and Paul Courtright\u2014refused to leave, choosing instead to assist the wounded, aid foreign journalists, and ultimately expose the truth to the world. Those pivotal ten days reshaped their lives into lifelong commitments to human rights, inspiring decades of memoirs, academic writings, and testimonies. Through photographs, video footage, and personal records, this section traces their journey from eyewitnesses to active defenders of human dignity, inviting us to reflect on what it truly means to take a stand in the face of another\u2019s suffering. \n\nTwo additional events programmed in conjunction with this photo exhibition\n1. Symposium: \n\u201cFor Thee and All the World to See: May 18 Gwangju and the Visual Tenacities of South Korean Democracy\u201d\nhttps:\/\/myumi.ch\/mVdVJ \n\n2.

The College of Pharmacy also has a longstanding history of fighting to address addressing disparities in healthcare and is a leader in the fight for equitable healthcare for all individuals. This alignment in values and mission of both organizations led to the provision awarding of a grant to resulted in the College of Pharmacy being awarded a grant in 2022 to launch what we now call the McKesson Foundation Health Equity Speaker Series, with the goal of educating the UM community and inspiring those around us to find solutions that address inequities in healthcare and beyond.\n\nAbout our Funder, the McKesson Foundation\nThe McKesson Foundation is a charitable organization dedicated to improving health outcomes for vulnerable and underserved populations.

Counter to the \"romantic\" Silk Road imagery the BRI commonly draws on, these activities are forcing a reconfiguration of political and economic realities across the region, shifting attention toward changing practices of digital economy and governance along the BRI. This paper introduces the concept of 'variegated govotolerance' to explain why governments and citizens have (to varying degrees) come to tolerate, regional cybercriminal activity linked to Chinese actors.\n\nTom Narins is an associate professor of geography, planning, and sustainability at the University at Albany with research interests in the critical geopolitics of China's growing engagement with the global economy.\nHis current research examines the political and economic tensions associated with \u201cGlobal China\u201d in terms of both traditional and digital infrastructure, with a special focus on China\u2019s digital expansion across the Global South. As a political and economic geographer, Tom has published on sovereignty issues relating to China's Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) as well as on official Chinese lending to BRI-participant countries after the coronavirus pandemic.

This retro card deck will teach you old-timey conversation skills to build connection faster, facilitate authentic sharing, and navigate differences gracefully. Not like any class you will find in a classroom, the evening will be filled with lighthearted activities to practice the art of talking.\u00a0Pizza will be served. Monday, October 5th from 5-7pm in North Quad\u2019s Space 2435.\n\n2) Pizza and Playdecks\u00a0Come play The Pluralism Playdeck, a low-key scaffolded card\ngame designed to allow university students to practice the soft skills they need to\nengage in compassionate and honest conversations about hot-button issues across\nideological and demographic differences. You'll learn about yourself, others, and develop a skill set that will serve you well in both social and professional settings. Lunch will be served. Free copies of the Pluralism Playdeck will be available to take home. Tuesday, October 6th from 12:00-1:30 in the Rackham West Conference Room.\n\n3) The Open Spoon: Belonging Join us for a facilitated evening of low-key storytelling on a theme. Bring a story or just come to listen. Liz Barney from the Open Spoon will facilitate this informal exchange of stories about a time when participants felt a sense of belonging. A cross between a campfire and a dorm room chat, the Open Spoon lets you see the world through other eyes for a night.\u00a0Food will be served.
