ANTIDOTE

Beirut

Lebanon

Curated by artist Cyrus Mahboubian and presented by Maison Pan*, ANTIDOTE is a Polaroid-only exhibition featuring leading contemporary artists who engage the medium in distinct and compelling ways.

In contrast to the endlessly replicated digital image – primarily viewed via screens only – Polaroid stands as an object: immediate, tactile and unedited. Each image exists as a singular artefact, reinforcing the exhibition’s central idea that slowness, scarcity and physicality remain potent forces in contemporary photography.

ANTIDOTE 2026 features:
Roger Ballen
Maryam Eisler
Charles Johnstone
Cyrus Mahboubian
Alexei Riboud
Sara Sahores
Matt Smith

*Maison Pan is an artist-run organisation producing cross-cultural events internationally.
