With the recent renovations at Steenstraat 11, AB is now also creating space for residencies: a place where artists and collectives can explore, experiment and create.

gala dragot makes art pop for girls who feel too much. By the age of twenty, she had already achieved reality TV fame (as the winner of The Voice Kids) and reached the final of the Eurovision Song Contest in 2023, signed major record deals and ultimately left it all behind to make music that really matters.

In May, gala is Artist in Residence at the AB Lab. The result of a week of experimentation with her band can be seen at this showcase!

With this residency, AB underlines its ambition to actively support artists off stage as well. Processes that are not always visible to the public are deliberately given space here, because they are essential for sustainable artistic development.
