Harper Montgomery is a distinguished art historian and curator whose work bridges the vibrant worlds of Latin American and Caribbean visual cultures with global institutions. With a PhD in Art History from Columbia University, she has dedicated her career to illuminating underrepresented narratives in modern and contemporary art, drawing on extensive fieldwork across the Americas.

As a former curator at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), she has organized groundbreaking exhibitions that foster cross-cultural dialogues. Her insightful writings appear in leading journals, and she continues to lecture internationally, advocating for equitable representation in the art world. Through her rigorous yet accessible prose, Montgomery invites readers to engage deeply with the rich tapestries of hemispheric creativity.
