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.The work of the Iranian-British photographer Mitra Tabrizian is invariably concerned with the relationship between the individual and society; between the human figure and the background.
As Homi Bhabha notes in an included essay, "Who Are the People?", all of the action and the figures in her pictures occupy the middle distance; neither close enough to be portraits nor distant enough to be background figures. The result tends to be a strange stillness and a powerful sense of isolation. Other essays in Another Country, a monograph of Tabrizian's most recent work, relate this isolation of her subjects to a political and cultural stasis in contemporary Iran, although the book also has series in London and Holland.
