The projet
The Baixu was born from several desires: to provide a stage with optimal conditions for small classical, jazz or world music groups; allow young talents to make themselves known, to go on stage for the first time, to play with professionals, finally to give children and teenagers who have little or no access to Culture, whatever the reason, the opportunity to discover this wonderful world through creative projects, musical workshops, to come and attend concerts for free.
Many talented artists, musicians, painters, visual artists, actors do not have, or have very difficulty, access to known circuits to show or have their work heard, for lack of means, contacts and accessible places.
Brussels lacks small, well-equipped quality venues that can host shows and exhibitions, but which are also ready to be used as a rehearsal room or meeting place between artists and the public.
There are lots of children and young people in Brussels who are ignorant of what culture is and of the potential it might have for them to transform their lives.
The place
A cultural place of meeting and creation
A non-profit association, Le Baixu is a fully equipped multidisciplinary cultural space, installed in a former industrial premises of 150m2 and able to accommodate between 80 (seated) and 120 people (standing), in the heart of the new trendy Tour et Taxis district.
The name “Baixu” means “beautiful” in the language of the Pataxos Indians who live in the south of the state of Bahia in Brazil. A word which is intended to represent the ambition of the project and the quality of the cultural events presented, as well as the attachment to Brazilian culture of the project initiators.
The Baixu is also a meeting place between artists and children and teenagers, through creative and social workshops.
Social, racial, religious and gender diversity is one of the essential components of the Baixu project.
Culture is what allows us to know who we are and what we belong to. Marcel Gauchet
