Cosmo Whyte is both a multidisciplinary artist and educator. His art reflects on the legacy of colonialism and migration. This topic means a lot to Whyte, who moved from Jamaica to the United States in 2001, at age nineteen, to attend Bennington College and pursue a BFA in painting. Whyte uses his personal experiences to question constructs of masculinity, ethnicity, and belonging in his art. He works as a visual arts professor and program director at Morehouse College.
