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 seems appropriate that the international festival `A Quality of Light' should take place in West Cornwall; the luminous intensity of the area has attracted artists for more than a century. Work from the USA, Argentina, Croatia, the Philippines and the UK uses the theme of light in various media, including painting, sculpture, installations and new technology. Among the artists taking part are Roger Ackling, Mona Hatoum, Martina Kramer, Paul Ramirez Jonas and Glen Onwin (whose `Blood of the Pelican' at the Geevor Mine) is shown above.

Venues around the Penwith peninsula, including the Tate Gallery St Ives and Newlyn Art Gallery from today to 2 Nov. Information from the Tate Gallery St Ives (01736 796543)
