I have been rather silent on these (and other) pages recently as I finished a book – apologies for the shameless publicity but more details will follow in due course. But we found time to visit the opening of the recent art exhibition held at the DPRK embassy in London.

Or rather, the first ever North Korean art exhibition in Britain took place, if you believe the Guardian, at the “secretive state’s outpost here” or, if the Daily Telegraph, at the “secretive North Korean embassy.” And so on, via the New Statesman, the Spectatorand even the BBC.
