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":"149541-21906602@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\/08\/event_149541_original-2.jpg", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/08\/event_149541_original-2.jpg", "event_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/08\/event_149541_original-2.jpg", "event_large_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_large_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/08\/event_149541_original-2.jpg", "event_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2026\/08\/event_149541_original-2.jpg", "group_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/group_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/08\/event_149541_original-2.jpg", "group_thumb_square":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/group_thumb_square\/media\/attachments\/2026\/08\/event_149541_original-2.jpg", "group_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/group_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/08\/event_149541_original-2.jpg", "group_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/group_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2026\/08\/event_149541_original-2.jpg", "event_large_crop":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_large_crop\/media\/attachments\/2026\/08\/event_149541_original-2.jpg", "event_list":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_list\/media\/attachments\/2026\/08\/event_149541_original-2.jpg", "event_list_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/08\/event_149541_original-2.jpg", "event_grid":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid\/media\/attachments\/2026\/08\/event_149541_original-2.jpg", "event_grid_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_grid_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/08\/event_149541_original-2.jpg", "event_feature_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_feature_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/08\/event_149541_original-2.jpg", "event_feature_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_feature_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/08\/event_149541_original-2.jpg" }, "occurrence_count":67, "first_occurrence":21906594 } , "151690-21911968": { "datetime_modified":"20260915T094520", "datetime_start":"20260923T120000", "datetime_end":"20260923T130000", "has_end_time":1, "date_start":"2026-09-23", "date_end":"2026-09-23", "time_start":"12:00:00", "time_end":"13:00:00", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"DAAS Faculty Forum 2026-2027", "occurrence_title":"", "combined_title":"DAAS Faculty Forum 2026-2027: Fall Schedule", "event_subtitle":"Fall Schedule", "event_type":"Lecture \/ Discussion", "event_type_id":"13", "description":"Faculty members of the Department of Afroamerican and African Studies discuss their projects, research, and publications to share their work and interests.

I engage specifically with the play of similarity and difference in covering the works of the artist to whom tribute is paid, especially the semiotic capacities of such musical activity. I look to the 2005 album So Amazing: An All-Star Tribute to Luther Vandross as a case study.\u201d\n\nJonathan A. G\u00f3mez is a musicologist studying Black American musics of the 20th and 21st centuries, particularly popular musics. His work is situated at the intersection of music studies and Black studies, with interests in music analysis and semiotics via linguistic anthropology. He is also a jazz saxophonist, and can be heard on pianist Roberto Magris\u2019 album Live in Miami @ the WDNA Jazz Gallery (2017), as well as on several tracks of Geo Trio\u2019s We Made an Album! (2019). G\u00f3mez holds a Ph.D. in music with a secondary field in African and African American studies from Harvard University, an M.A. in musicology from Michigan State University, and a B.M. in studio music and jazz from the University of Miami\u2019s Frost School of Music.

Finally, I argue that such tributes enable a kind of \u201cmetapragmatics of presence\u201d (Nakassis 2017) for Black musicians and listeners.\n\n \n\nTo demonstrate this method, I look to the 2005 album, So Amazing: An All-star Tribute to Luther Vandross, as a case study.
