Order Up, Mashriq (Unplugged)

Step into a realm where time bends at MPavilion Parkville. For two days, witness its transformation into a futuristic Arabian café, a glimpse into a post-apocalyptic world marred by climate catastrophe and another pandemic. Designed as a work of science fiction, the café speculates on a peculiar dystopian future — familiar yet unpredictable, inviting visitors into the unknown. Immerse in every detail of a bygone era reshaped by reinvention and experience music genres reconstructed from the past with DJs amidst culinary delights.

At the heart of this transformation is Majed Fayad, a Lebanese-Australian multidisciplinary visionary whose creations defy convention. From expansive experiential installations to ground-breaking digital imagery, Majed’s portfolio sparks dialogue on the fusion of Eastern and Western cultures and offers a glimpse into the tapestry of 21st-century existence.
