Collaborative and open support centre initiated by Entropie Production and Habemus Papam
Located on Rue de Birmingham 30 in Molenbeek since March 2025, PACO is an open, collaborative support centre set up by Entropie Production and Habemus Papam.
Having set up our offices here together, we’re offering a shared space where we can pass on our knowledge and resources and encourage new encounters and synergies.
A shared space
PACO comprises offices, a meeting and coworking room and several studios for research and experimentation. It is also possible to run residencies for artists, with or without support, as required to develop their projects.
A skills centre
PACO Bodeek is also designed to be a skills centre, available to supported artists as well as outside artists, so that they can work there or meet each other thanks to regular open office hours.
An open place: Bodeek
PACO is hosted within Bodeek, a building located at Rue de Birmingham 30 in Molenbeek.
Bodeek is a space belonging to the Brussels region and made available under an open-ended precarious occupancy agreement. Several organisations, collectives and individuals use the place daily and in a self-managed way: on the ground floor, the architecture and design collective Aboutt and the artistic collective De Spoormakers; on the first floor, the international research and residency project A.pass, photographers Pauline Vanden Neste and Tom Lyon and visual artist Simon Raguin; on the third and top floor, the performing arts production offices Entropie Production and Habemus papam as well as the offices of the dance school Impulsion.
The large hall on the ground floor, formerly the La Bodega club, hosts public events. Its programme is managed by a group composed of various members of activist artistic collectives and Bodeek residents. Any collective or organisation wishing to schedule an event in line with the venue’s programming guidelines can have access to it.
You can contact the programming team via this mail or on instagram.
