Raising Dust: Encounters in Relational Geography
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 provocative multi-media exhibition exploring contemporary notions of identity in relation to Europe opens at the Calvert 22 gallery in London next week.
Curator Richard Appignanesi invited a group of predominantly Eastern European artists to respond to the poetry and politics of place.
The concept for the exhibition is that the very idea of Europe is in itself a dislocation, a nomadic horizon which responds differently to the shifting perspectives and desires of its inhabitants.

Each artist contributed work which addresses this proposition in relation to their Eastern European roots.
Three other artists of Indian, Cypriot and British descent have extended the encounter with Europe even further east so as to fully interrogate our ideas of what comprises this continent.
As the title might suggest, a central symbol within Raising Dust is an everyday household broom. It serves as an emblem of basic human endurance, while also asserting that issues being faced cannot be swept under the carpet.
'Raising Dust: Encounters in Relational Geography' is at the Calvert 22 gallery in London from 8 December 2010 until 20 February 2011, calvert22.org
