It is traditional in Iceland to give the gift of a book to be opened on Christmas Eve. Books are unwrapped and then read together. It is called Jolabokaflod (Christmas book flood). 📖 🎄 🖼 Reading Girl, Gustav Adolph Hennig, 1828.

Vincent Van Gogh exhibition at the National Gallery in London is quite something. Bringing together VVG's paintings spread over the world under one roof. Including two "sunflower" paintings - one of them leaving the USA for the first time since the 1930s.

Earlier this year I spent time talking to the Sami, Europe's last indigenous peoples forcibly assimilated by Nordic countries. They have forged solidarity with Palestinians despite being thousands of miles away. One example of breaking away from silos and bridging connections.

Hello new followers! I'm a journalist covering minorities in Europe. Just returned to the UK after a year and a half in Estonia. A former life investigating human rights abuses in garment factories. Mostly I love joining the dots between people and movements
