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.

For more people than ever before, home is a moveable concept, stuck somewhere between a dream and a memory.

It is this feeling that Seba Kurtis, a young Argentinean photographer, aims to bring to his work on immigrants, negotiating the treacherous seas between Africa and Europe or traversing the lawless borders between Mexico and the United States.

His mulitlayered photographs are a product of his own experience of being on the move. Kurtis uses experimental techniques to show the transient nature of experience.

Seba Kurtis, 35, grew up in Buenos Aires under a violent dictatorship. He left for Europe and remained in Spain as an illegal immigrant for over five years. This experience became the main inspiration for his work.
