Pilar's hidden gem: Barak Lili M

Barak Lili M is located on the site of See-U, situated in the Fritz Toussant-Barracks of Ixelles. See U is the temporary program of the new urban district, called Usquare, of which the construction will start in 2023. Barak Lili M resides in the former barracks, together with forty other sustainable and innovative projects. 

Pilar has provided three types of spaces in one of the buildings on site: three studio spaces, a rehearsal studio and a multipurpose space. After an open call in the spring of 2019, we welcomed three promising artists in the studio spaces who will have had the space to their disposal for a year: Bart Lescrève, Nina Van Denbempt and Juan Pablo Plazas. The basement of the building has been transformed into a rehearsal studio that can be rented at democratic rates. 

The third type of spaces in Barak Lili M is a multipurpose area: a breeding ground for creative rebellion. Pilar aims to provide a place where young entrepreneurs can let wild ideas mature and grow. In addition, this space is not only a physical workplace, but Pilar can also support youngster by offering customized guidance. For example: Pilar can help build network connections, but can also provide logistical support. 

The difference between Pilar and Barak Lili M? Barak Lili M is there for the experiment. When you contact Barak Lili M, you should not be able to present a finished  product. Every idea, every thought is welcome and can be developed within of Barak Lili M. It’s a place to organize creative workshops, but we can also assist you in organising a LP market.
