Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.As Christie's in London shows Native American and folk art from the American Museum in Britain (to 27 Jan), two other shows in the capital provide interesting sidelines. Jimmie Durham's show at the ICA highlights his Cherokee Indian heritage, but in her exhibition entitled Herd Instinct at the Centre 181 Gallery in Hammersmith, Linda Hack looks at the subject from a different perspective. 'My grandparents were pioneers who homesteaded Cherokee land,' says the artist, whose materials include buffalo horns, stetsons and the Stars and Stripes.
Another heritage comes under scrutiny in Wales this week as the new Museum of Modern Art opens in Machynlleth. Fine examples of work by Augustus John, Wyndham-Lewis and lesser-known modern artists with Welsh connections will be on display.
Works by another artist with Welsh associations, John Piper, go on view at three venues this month. CCA Galleries in London is showing typical oils on paper, prints and tapestries, while Waddingtons has some interesting earlier works from the artist's studio. Most interesting, though, is the exhibition that opens (floods permitting) at Pallant House in Chichester on 22 January. It will include sketches for the great Chichester Cathedral tapestry, bequeathed by the artist's widow, Myfanwy.
