Vera Uberti is an Italian-Brazilian artist, born in Brazil in 1964, who lives and works between Italy and Brazil. Through multimedia installations and immersive environments, she explores relationships between body, perception, architecture, and public participation. Light, video, sound, mirrors, and sculptural elements articulate processes of individual and collective transformation.
She studied Visual Arts at Fundação Armando Alvares Penteado, where she received the 2003 FAAP Annual Art Award for Refletir. In 2004, she was recognized by the Chamex Arte Jovem program at Instituto Tomie Ohtake. In Italy, she attended the two-year master’s program Paesaggi Straordinari Arte e Architettura at Politecnico di Milano and undertook a placement at Cittadellarte Fondazione Pistoletto.
Over more than two decades, Uberti has connected performance, installation, light art, public space, and collaborative practice. Between 2009 and 2012, she created I Love My City, I Sette Peccati, Genesis, and Wonderland in Brescia. In Brazil, she collaborated with Sesc São Paulo on projects related to MART Rovereto’s Arte Povera collection, Pinocchio una bella arte!, and Proibido Não Tocar Bruno Munari.
From 2014 to 2018, she was artistic director at Areadocks in Brescia, where she created the Artisti in Cantiere laboratory. Later projects include In Wonder(is)land, Stravaganze Imperiali, Porta Segreta, and Reflexos (in)versos. From 2022 to 2023, she taught Multimedia Design at the Accademia di Belle Arti SantaGiulia in Brescia.
In 2023, she conceived Reflexos (in)versos — No País das Maravilhas for Farol Santander Porto Alegre. In 2026, the project gained a new configuration at Farol Santander São Paulo, in dialogue with its historic architecture and Pipilotti Rist’s Open My Glade. Horizontality and spatial compression intensify her research into instability, self-perception, and transformation.
