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.A new art exhibition at the gallery at Flannels department store in Leeds explores the landscape of Russia and former Communist satellites in the post-peristroika era.
Juxtaposing images of beauty and brutality to create a portrait of a world still in flux, the selection of photographs straddles a deep-rooted tradition, the promise of the future and the still visible shadow of the iron curtain.
Despite the diversity of work being exhibited, there is a commonality and a pervading stillness running through the selection, which has a reflective quality.
Images such as the face at a frozen window (above) tell stories of these other worlds through sensitive, yet bold visual statements.
