Victoria Mussi is a Brazilian multidisciplinary artist serving as Marketing/Audio Visual Manager at SoMad in New York City, where she leads the technical design and execution of exhibitions, performances, and artist residencies.
Her work at SoMad spans a series of high-level cultural programs and internationally engaged projects. She played a key role in the audiovisual and lighting design for exhibitions such as “Rubber Rubber” by Yi Hsuan Lai, presented both at SoMad and during Miami Art Week in collaboration with New Art Dealers Alliance. She also led technical execution for projects such as “Acts of Service” by Keith LaFuente, overseeing lighting design, audiovisual systems, and VR documentation.
Mussi also contributed to presentations with SoMad at major art fairs, including NADA New York, NADA Miami, AIPAD, and Alcova, supporting artists such as Soraya Zaman, Paul Simon and David Aliperti, where her work directly enhanced exhibition visibility and strengthened collector engagement within a highly competitive global art market.
Within SoMad’s residency programs, she held primary responsibility for the lighting design and audiovisual execution of “Life is Drag” by Rachel Rampleman, developing and implementing a complete lighting and visual effects system across a series of performances involving multiple artists. Her work required the creation of distinct lighting environments tailored to each performer, integrating dramaturgy, movement, and spatial composition while maintaining technical consistency and high-level visual documentation standards.
She contributed to Mad World: Queer Ecologies, SoMad’s annual multidisciplinary program. The program features installations, live performances, screenings, and site-specific works developed across multiple floors of the space. Within this context, she supported the technical execution of audiovisual and lighting systems, contributing to the overall consistency, spatial design, and immersive presentation of the program. In 2026, she held a central leadership role in Mad World: A Bag to Breathe into, which featured more than 37 artists. She was responsible for the full lighting design during performances, multimedia installation, projection systems, and immersive audiovisual environments across the exhibition.
