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.To mark the Jubilee year, a group of artists have created works responding about Queen Elizabeth II's reign, exploring ideas around royal conventions from street parties to memorabilia.
Modern artists including Cathy Lomax, Sadie Hennessey and Enzo Marra have contributed. The exhibited works are fairly provocative, with plenty of post-punk irony. But most of it is concerned with what the gallery describes as "the paradox of our national ambivalence". This is a comment on a modern mood of political opposition to the idea of the monarchy mixed in with the nostalgia having royalty in our culture conjures up.
The irreverent but affectionately titled ‘Diamond Geezer’ celebrates our freedom to laud and loathe our sovereign as we so choose.
