Benjamim Furtado (Lisbon, 1998) is a visual artist and musician working with the rhythms and traces of pedestrian life. His practice spans across drawing, photography, performance and musical composition while thematically and formally approaching the field of architecture. Furtado approaches questions surrounding psycho-geography, acoustics, memory, and the theatricality of the everyday. 

His work has been presented at P/////AKT (NL) , Vale Perdido (PT), ZDB 8 Marvila (PT), Beurschouwburg (BE), Nieuwe Instituut (NL), Roodkaapje (NL), Outline platform (NL) and featured in sonic and visual publications such as Graphite Journal (USA) and Portraiture Platform (USA).
