Turner art protest
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 four finalists of the Turner Prize and other artists, including Damien Hirst and Bridget Riley, will present a petition to the Government today protesting at the introduction of museum charges.
Their protest comes on the day that the winner of the Turner Prize is to be announced. The modern art prize has an all-female short-list for the first time. Angela Bulloch, Gillian Wearing, Cornelia Parker and Christine Borland will hand in the petition to Chris Smith, Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport.
