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.While Israel's most famous designer, Ron Arad is traveling the globe with his Restless exhibit, some of the country's other leading designers are gearing up for a special display at the Canada Design Exchange.
From Mediterranean Traditional to Israeli Contemporary Design opens March 5 at the Toronto-based design museum, featuring 60 pieces by various Israeli designers.
"Israeli culture combines many diverse influences, which offer an often difficult, yet fruitful ground for creativity, resulting in wide ranging and high quality designs," the organizers said. "[Israeli design] traditions include a vivid sense of humour, a rejection of bourgeois ideas of beauty, and a cunning use of new and used materials."
Among others, participating designers include Alon Razgour, who also curated the exhibit, as well as Ezri Tarazi, Animi Causa, Umamy, VONS, and the M.G.A Design Studio, Relaxnews was told.
The exhibition runs through June 20. Tickets are $10 (concessions: $8). The Design Exchange is also running a promotional contest that will give away two tickets to Israel.
