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.

A disused church in the Spanish city of llanera has been given a new lease of secular life.

First, it was turned into a skate park by La Iglesia Skate, and now the building has been covered in psychedelic, isometric patterns by street artist Okuda San Miguel.

Named Kaos Temple, the space was made with the help of Red Bull, and Verkami described it thus:

“[Miguel’s] iconic artistic piece Kaos Star represents a colorful and isometric rose of the winds that tries to tell us that it does not matter were you are, or what you are doing, what matters are your own goals.”

For more hedonistic building project porn, you might enjoy Estonia’s 230ft organ that’s played by the sea, and giant wooden megaphone that allows passers-by to listen to the forest.
