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.It's not all about WAGs and The Beatles.
Liverpool Biennial is the UK's largest international contemporary art festival, which runs next month for 10 weeks. US artist Doug Aitken has made a series of filmed conversations with individuals including Jack White and Tilda Swinton talking about creativity, to be screened in a temporary circular pavilion designed by architect David Adjaye.
For I'm On The Guest List Too!, Elmgreen and Dragset have created an oversized VIP metal door, which is guarded by a bouncer. Israeli artist Oded Hirsch's full-sized elevator will burst through the floor of the Liverpool ONE shopping centre. LA-based artist Fritz Haeg, with landscape design practice Field Operations, has transformed Everton Park (above) into a community garden, which will be harvested during the opening weekend.
