In the exciting openings of March, there's PRINT, a new ephemeral and hybrid space of 3,000 m2 setting up shop in Ménilmontant for three months of music, food, and photography. 

Ephemeral and hybrid concept – blending gastronomy, music, and photography – PRINT is setting up for three months in a 3,000 m² abandoned building in the 20th arrondissement. Born in Arles during the photography festival, this project is celebrating its very first Parisian edition from March to May, all in a welcoming and free atmosphere. Here’s a rundown of this new space that’s going to shake up Paris this spring!


From Arles to Paris

Focusing on immersive experiences, the first edition of PRINT took place last summer in Arles over nearly three weeks. It was an event that brought together over 6,000 visitors, who came to dance, eat, and discover the work of ten featured photographers as well as sets from renowned artists like Laurent Garnier, Myd, Dj Falcon, and Pedro Winter. And for its new 2026 edition – born from a collaboration between chef Alexis Bijaoui, the Cracki Records collective, and the Bureau Classico agency – PRINT is taking itsNeighborhoods in Paris during spring, from March to May. Three months to bring to life a hybrid artistic capsule, gathering night owls, workers, artists, foodies, music lovers, and simply curious souls.

Where’s the meeting spot? An old Orange office building in Ménilmontant, in the 20th district, completely transformed and repurposed for the occasion. From open spaces to meeting rooms!

, including work furniture… It’s all about the universe of “work office” becoming the decor and experimental ground for a new concept that is definitely free and contemporary. Why the 20th? Simply to mark a return to the roots, to the neighborhood that makes Cracki and its record shop thrive. This area is also home to partners like The Analog Club – a photo shop that offers its own bookstore on-site – as well as the Quintal printing workshop, and the food shops and restaurants from the vibrant Parisian culinary scene. The idea is simple: to transform the 20th into a true artistic, collective, and lively laboratory for three months. 


One place, three concepts, one experience

The PRINT concept revolves around three main axes. First, music, featuring a carefully curated program from Cracki Records, of course, focusing on the diversity of genres and formats. The programming swings between live or acoustic concerts, unique performances, DJ sets, album release parties,

Listened comments and open calls for labels and collectives. Next up is the section exhibitions and visual installations, featuring curators Camille Denoix and Marine Billet, who place photography at the heart of the experience. On the second and third floors, you'll find exhibitions, including the permanent one on the theme "The Office," showcasing many international photographers.

The third focus is all about the art of the table with a performing kitchen in direct dialogue with the musical and artistic scene. Each evening, founding chef Alexis Bijaoui and his teams create a unique culinary performance in harmony with the artists present. Ephemeral menus and events, collaborative dishes with renowned guests, sensory journeys, and tailor-made experiences… In short, everything you need to awaken all your senses, all in one place!
