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.ART. Tricky business. I don't even know what I like. Take this picture, here. It's called Julie From Hull, by Marcus Harvey, who works with paint, masking tape and rubber gloves. It's part of the exhibition at the Serpentine Gallery, in London's Kensington Gardens, curated by Damien Hirst, who seems rather jolly. Because Kensington Gardens is a royal park, the gallery's trustees keep an eye on what it hangs. The exhibition features, inter alia, Hirst's dead sheep in formaldehyde and an 8ft inverted orange wax phallus purporting to be Balzac hanging from the ceiling. No problem. What got everybody exercised was this painting. Judge for yourself. Tricky business, art. I think I'll stick to rugby league.
