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.

Artists from Bangladesh, India and Pakistan have joined forces for an exhibition showing a unity of ideas and visions spanning both cultures in spite of historical, political and religious divides.

The show at London’s Asia House Gallery, titled Step Across this Line for Salman Rushdie’s essay collection of the same name, was curated by New Delhi-based Deeksha Nath who says she functions as an “outsider” having never visited Pakistan or Bangladesh.

The show explores national identity, colonialism, the similarities between enemy states and the entwined histories of Bangladesh, India and Pakistan.

The artists exhibiting are Naeem Mohaiemen, Wakil Rahman, Saira Ansari, Mehreen Murtaza, Abhishek Hazra, Priya Sen, Hasan Elahi, Unum Babar, Firoz Mahmud , Malik Sajad, Gauri Gill, CAMP (Shaina Anand and Ashok Sukumaran) and Asim Waqif.
