Kristopher Driggers is a Ph.D. candidate in Art History at the University of Chicago, where he studies Pre-Columbian art in Mesoamerica.

His recent work has been supported by a Ford Foundation Predoctoral Fellowship and an Erasmus Dissertation Research Fellowship, which have enabled him to conduct eld research with objects in Mexico City and Madrid. In 2011, Kristopher received his B.A. in History of Art from Yale University. He has interned and worked at the Museo de Arte Latinoamericano de Buenos Aires (MALBA Fundación Costantini), Yale University Art Gallery, Metropolitan Museum of Art, and the McNay Art Museum.
