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.An Aboriginal artist whose dreams form the basis of his paintings has brought his one-man show to London.
Former cattle stockman turned painter Clifford Possum Tjapaltjarri, 65, is a master at combining in a single painting a number of dreaming trails and the stories - which go back to the creation of Australia - are depicted in his work.
The artist, who was one of the founders of the Aboriginal art movement which came to the fore in the 1970s, takes viewers of his work through a landscape, mapping out the stories in his dreams, of which he is the custodian, on to canvas.
So popular are his paintings that one of them is featured in the Queen's personal collection. Mr Possum's latest show - his third in Britain - runs at the Rebecca Hossack Gallery in Windmill Street, central London, until 5 July.
