About

hi!

I’m Pedro Velho (b. 1991, Portugal), a transdisciplinary artist, designer, researcher, and social educator/mediator currently based in Bergen, Norway.

My creative practice focuses on the potential of narrative and storytelling across various mediums— from design and illustration
to documentary, media, performance, and XR (Virtual Reality).

In recent years, my focus has shifted toward socially engaged art and media projects. I am particularly interested in how art, design, and technology can serve as mediators for social education.

In 2023, I co-founded corpo-paisagem with Sérgio Galvão Roxo, a collective dedicated to producing socially engaged art projects

My interdisciplinary education and professional experience made me open and curious to new processes, projects and ideas.It also made
me flexible to find new ways to communicate in a more creative and efficient way.
