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.

What do Pulp, Brian Eno, and Yasser Arafat have in common? Answer: they are all the proud possessors of a practically invisible, pretty automatic, super-tiny, nearly silent camera from Russia. As lomographers, their aim is to take as many lomographs as possible in the most unlikely situations and from the most unusual positions. The lomographs are then collected and assembled into lomowalls (above). It's fitting then, that Britain's first ever lomo exhibition is launched this week at London's Blue Note Gallery, featuring 20,000 lomographs, from local work to lomo-imports from around the world. Can't wait to see Yasser's contribution.

Blue Note Gallery, 1 Hoxton Square, N1 (0171-729 8440) 6 Apr-1 May
