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.

Bob and Roberta Smith: Don't Hate, Sculpt.

13-26 October. Chisenhale Gallery, 64 Chisenhale Road, London E3 5QZ

Love to hate modern art? Then you'll either love or hate Bob and Roberta Smith's forthcoming exhibition, which aims to "bring anarchy to people's perception of art".

Indeed, deciphering the press release alone was an exercise in anarchic deconstruction. The exhibit consists of the antics of six different artistic "personalities", all created by Bob and Roberta Smith.

Their mission is to convince the onlooker of the necessity of art. There's the man who paints things orange, a woman who grows potatoes, a man whose creative energies are spent bolting vegetables together, another who provides instruction on how to make custard. Onlookers are invited to join in the creative process.
