Pilar House for Arts & Science in Brussel. Pilar is an open, artistic laboratory in Brussels @ VUB Een steunzuil voor en door jongeren.

Pilar is een open, artistiek laboratorium in Brussel, gelegen aan de VUB. Een huis waarin de kruisbestuiving tussen kunst en wetenschap en ook cultureel ondernemerschap een plaats krijgt. De potgrond waar talentontwikkeling centraal staat. Pilar presenteert, experimenteert, broedt, creëert, onderzoekt, mengt, versmelt en betrekt.

Now that the heatwave has eased up a bit, our fried brains have some space again to think about a good recap. Because wohoow — how fast did that all go, and so much has happened!

Since we can only post 10 photos here, we want to say that this post doesn’t do justice to the full line-up — to all the artists, performances, exhibitions, students, visitors, enthusiasts, and homecomers who’ve been part of it.

See you in September, ENJOY THE SUMMER (and this cute recap 😘).

[EN below] We scharen ons achter de boodschap die op de gevels van Vlaamse cultuurhuizen te zien is, en roepen de Belgische regering op tot een daadkrachtiger beleid tegen de flagrante mensenrechtenschendingen door Israël in Gaza en op de Westelijke Jordaanoever.​ We vragen de Belgische regering om werk te maken van een staakt-het-vuren, sancties tegen Israël, de erkenning van Palestina en de bescherming van mensenrechtenorganisaties.​ We roepen daarnaast iedereen graag op om op 15 juni mee te stappen in de protestactie georganiseerd door 11.11.11.



We stand behind the message currently displayed on the façades of Flemish cultural institutions, and call on the Belgian government to take stronger action against the grave human rights violations committed by Israel in Gaza and the West Bank. We urge the Belgian government to call for an immediate ceasefire, impose sanctions on Israel, recognise the State of Palestine, and protect human rights organisations. We also call on everyone to join the demonstration on 15 June in Brussels, organised by 11.11.11.

You may have noticed that more and more artists and concepts are exploring the meditative aspects of music. This might be how we begin to shape our concert experiences and evenings in the future.

As summer approaches, this evening will offer a moment to pause. Whether you’re a student heading into exams or someone coming out of a hectic work year and easing into summer plans – this is the time to hit the pause button.

With Siren Calls – a project by Karolien Polenus – and with Julia E. Dyck and leïla alice, we want to experience concerts in a different way. Tune into yourself, slow down, recharge, and take a more introspective position within a collective experience.
