For Dom, Bruno and the Amazon is a powerful exhibition honouring the lives and work of journalist Dom Phillips and Indigenous expert Bruno Pereira, who were murdered in the Amazon in June 2022.  

The exhibition exposes the dangers that the rainforest and its inhabitants are facing from deforestation, and from illegal mining and fishing.

It also showcases some hopeful solutions and reminds us that there are many actions that we ourselves in the global North can take to help to protect the Amazon.

It was first produced for an exhibition at Halton Mill in November 2022, and since then has toured widely in the UK around universities, schools, festivals, and community centres .  

It has been updated in 2025 with funding from the NUJ to reflect political changes in Brazil and to accompany the launch of Dom’s book, 'How to Save the Amazon, a journalist's deadly quest for justice' which has been completed by a group of journalists and environmentalists and published by Ithaka Press.

A low res version of the exhibition with hyperlinks to all the references  is available at this link tinyurl.com/dombruno25.  

This exhibition is available to tour schools, universities, festivals and other venues locally and nationally, free of charge apart from postage costs.  

Please contact dombrunoexhibition@gmail.com or phone 07778 737681 for more information.

This exhibition was produced by Fiona Frank and Alison Cahn together with Dom’s nieces Domonique Davies and Rhiannon Davies, with the help of Lancaster Environment Centre and many other individuals and organisations working on the Amazon.
