‘ANTIDOTE: A Polaroid Exhibition’ at Maison Pan, London

Curated by Cyrus in homage to his favourite medium, ANTIDOTE presented works by a vibrant, multi-generational group of artists who use Polaroid in distinctive ways - ways that make the medium somehow their own.

The exhibition took place from 6 to 18 May 2025 (coinciding with Photo London fair at Somerset House) and included original works by: Rhiannon Adam; Nobuyoshi Araki; Roger Ballen; Léonard Bourgois Beaulieu; Harriet Browse; Charles Johnstone; Cyrus Mahboubian; and Sara Sahores.

Cyrus hosted several events during the run of the show, including a private view on 8 May, a Saturday afternoon talk with participating artist Léonard Bourgois Beaulieu on 10 May, and a conversation between Charles Johnstone and Sara Sahores on 17 May.
