Lancaster-based artist and musician Fiona Frank has relaunched her touring exhibition, “For Dom, Bruno and the Amazon,” at Halton Mill to honor British journalist Dom Phillips and Brazilian Indigenous expert Bruno Pereira. The two were murdered in June 2022 while reporting in the Amazon rainforest, where Phillips was researching a book on environmental preservation.
Created in 2022, the exhibition features 15 striking panels combining photography and storytelling. These works document the dangers facing the Amazon, including illegal logging, mining, and fishing. Updated for 2025, the exhibition now reflects political shifts in Brazil, the release of Phillips’ posthumous book How to Save the Amazon, and the creation of the Dom Phillips Institute, which supports ongoing efforts to protect the rainforest.
The exhibition opened on July 23 and runs through September 1. The launch event included speakers from Brazil discussing the importance of Indigenous rights and environmental defense, as well as a Lancaster University researcher speaking on international scientific collaboration in the Amazon. Attendees were also treated to Afro-Brazilian dance performances, creating a vibrant cultural experience that bridges activism and art.
Frank is also organizing a fundraising event titled “Musical Journeys ’25: Fiona’s Travels Edition”, scheduled for October 4. It will feature an international lineup of performers via Zoom and live in Halton Mill, including Brazilian dancers Cacuriá Rosa de Balaio, Canadian folk singer Mary Beth Carty, and Montreal melodeon player Carmen Guérard. Proceeds will go to the Dom Phillips Institute and two Amazon-based music projects, with fair wages ensured for all performers.
The exhibition and accompanying events are part of Frank’s mission to keep Phillips’ and Pereira’s legacies alive and to raise awareness of the threats to the Amazon. With free entry and open access, the project blends creativity with activism, offering the public a powerful opportunity to engage with global environmental and human rights issues. Booking is encouraged via TryBooking to attend the exhibition and cabaret.
Through her work, Fiona Frank transforms grief into action, ensuring that Dom Phillips’ voice continues to echo in the global struggle to save the Amazon.
