About me

Fiona Dunlop is a seasoned travel and food-writer who has been ‘abroad’ for much of her life. She doesn’t count countries but aims to dig deep beneath the surface of the places she visits. Food has increasingly become her focus, without forgetting art, architecture and design. Andalucia (Spain) is her second home, but French her second language!

Pickled gifts from three women friends who came to tea yesterday - Iranian refugees temporarily housed nearby, victims of persecution of Christians. For the record I'm not a church-goer but am moved by their courage & plight

A must-see film (despite my rubbish snap) about the American artist Nan Goldin, her life, controversial photos & her uncompromising campaign against the Sacklers (pharma).
Masterful interweaving of these elements ends with the removal of all traces of this ultimately homicidal family when Goldin's activism was heard by the world's art institutions.
Film released in UK Jan 27

Stark & powerful exhibition of photos by Leah Gord

Stark & powerful exhibition of photos by Leah Gordon @edcrossfineart showing the surreal carnival costumes of Haiti - referencing their extraordinary, convoluted history.
Proof that despite such a violent past (slavery under French colonists provoked their self-liberation / revolution) plus recent earthquakes, famine, gangs, economic disaster & now no government at all, the Haitians maintain a gift of rare creativity...
Hoping that somehow they emerge from this mess & their difficult, bleak past

A lucky break after all trains south from Victoria

A lucky break after all trains south from Victoria were delayed this morning (what's new🤔) - my only option was to whizz to Blackfriars' wonderful station on a bridge for a different route.
What light! What views! What luck! 💛

At last I returned to Peter Randall-Page's exhibition where nature's textures & forms are transformed onto paper, into bronze, linocuts & sculpted stone - all so meditative & beautifully executed @pangolin.london

Lusting after the seaside? Then go quickly to see this electrifying exhibition of Winslow Homer's paintings @nationalgallery - ending on Sunday! His seascapes above all but also his earlier paintings dramatically depicting the social aftermath to the American Civil War
