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.South Bank Picture Show (Festival Hall, 071-921 0600, Wed to 24 Jan). The sixth of these increasingly impressive annual displays, open to both amateur and professional artists and with a pounds 500 People's Prize for the most popular work. The 100 paintings on show and on sale are inevitably a mixed lot, but none is expensive.
Paula Rego (Marlborough Gallery, 071-629 5161, to 30 Jan). Subtitled 'Peter Pan and Other Stories', these are ink-and-watercolour variants on Rego's recent painted canvases on folkloric themes, now with far too much emphasis on children's book illustration and arch references to artists of the past, including Picasso and Wright of Derby.
Lea Andrews (Camerawork, 081-980 6256, until 20 Feb). First one-person show by the Slade photographer, using large-scale montages of himself as child and adult to make an autobiographical illustration.
