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.Retailers, exhibition organisers and even cafés are breaking down the public/ private divide by inviting consumers into their own homes.
In London, furniture designer Russell Pinch ( www.pinchdesign.com/index.htm) has turned his home into a showroom for his hand-made pieces, while in Mexico City's Minichelista café (www.myspace.com/minichelista ), customers are free to take their coffee anywhere they want within the traditional townhouse – from the bathtub or bed to the walk-in wardrobe.
And in France, the exhibition Contemporary Art Doesn't Feel Cold At Home, took place in the home of French artist Jeremy Cheval, with an installation in the bathroom and a site-specific piece in the housing compound's rubbish hut.
