Pedro Gil Farias is an artist and urban researcher. Working between the virtual and built environments, his work explores informal, self-organized, and collaborative ways of making and inhabiting urban space.

Through fieldwork, archives, and digital techniques, he collects fragments of the urban fabric that are later reconfigured into installations, workshops, audiovisual works, and visual compositions.
