Marta Perroni
Visual Artist
Marta Perroni (Lecco, 1987) is a visual artist based in Naples. Following a background in the humanities—with a Degree in Modern Literature, a two-year diploma in Narrative Journalism, and a Master’s in Journalistic Criticism—she worked in the fields of journalism, cultural communication, and museum education (Le Nuvole, Pompeii Children’s Museum). She also earned a Master of Fine Arts (Second-Level Diploma) in Painting from the Academy of Fine Arts in Naples, where, since 2024, she has been a PhD candidate in Art, Music, Science, Territory, and Community.
Her practice explores the relationships between the individual, society, and the environment, intertwining with a long-standing family tradition of botanical knowledge. Textile gestures, embroidery, drawing, and participatory practices become languages of memory and transmission through which she investigates how personal and collective histories can be shared, preserved, and transformed.
In 2023, she co-founded the Tras’ Lab studio/workshop in Naples and held her first solo exhibition, Human Micorriza, at the Mondoromulo Gallery in Castelvenere. That same year, she presented the project In-Verticali in a two-person show at the Cap Napoli Est gallery in San Giovanni a Barra. In 2024, she held the solo exhibition Storie disperse: La lirica del frammento at the Santissima Community Hub; the project was selected and published in 2025 by the magazine Where Flowers Bloom and exhibited in the accompanying group show in Locarno. In 2025, she completed a residency at the Lac o Le Mon Foundation in San Cesario di Lecce, held the two-person exhibition Eppure è altro at the UnoBis space in Padua—a work selected for publication in Sphaera Activitatis by Osservatorio Maree—and participated in the exhibition project Quasi Vero at Studio Cervo in Naples. Through February 2026, she took part in the exhibition Tras’ in cap at the Cap Napoli Est gallery, and her solo exhibition Moscacieca: Esercizi per oggetti smarriti is currently on view at the Museo San Giovanni dei Nudi in Naples.
