Brandon Agosto specializes in the early art history and archaeology of what is today Latin America, particularly on the materiality, epigraphy, and reception of objects in ancient Mesoamerica. As a student of Puerto Rican descent, Brandon is also interested in studying the artistic traditions of the Indigenous Caribbean, including the well-documented intercultural exchange that took place throughout the Pre-Hispanic Americas.
Brandon has assisted with museum exhibitions at the Yale University Art Gallery, Yale Peabody Museum of Natural History, and Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, including a reinstallation of the Arts of the Ancient Americas at the Yale Art Gallery in 2016. In addition to interests in curatorial work, he is a trained field archaeologist and has completed projects in Peru, Guatemala, and Miami. Brandon received his MA in Archaeological Studies from Yale University in 2017 and a BA in Anthropology (summa cum laude, Phi Beta Kappa) from Florida International University in 2014.
