Amniyr, South mountain Hebron
Amniyr is a small village of 11 shepherds and farmers families in the South Hebron Hills, just northeast of the Palestinian village of Susiya and the Israeli settlement of the same name. The village is located next to the ancient susiya which was completely demolished and its residents were displaced in mid 1980s when Israel declared the area as an archaeological site.
Al-Araqib
Following the 1948 War, the Bedouin population in the Negev Desert, in southern Israel, was forced to change its way of life. Prior to that time, Bedouins wandered freely in the deserts which are now under Israeli, Egyptian and Jordanian jurisdiction.In 1953, the Israeli army ordered many of the Bedouins, among them those in the village of Al-Araqib, to abandon their lands for six months during which time the army performed military exercises; to this day, the right of the Bedouins to return to their land has not been recognized.

Bil''in 5 Years
At the end of 2004, the Palestinian village of Bil''''in received a note from the Israeli army, which announced the beginning of the construction of the Separation Barrier.

Life under occupation
On the 29th of November 1947 the UN assembly decided on the devision of the Mandatory Palestine and the establishment of two independent states in the territory- a Jewish state and an Arab state. The war that started a day afterwards, will be referred to as the “War of Independence” by Israelis and as “Nakba” (catastrophe) by Palestinians. As a result of the Jewish military victory, the state of Israel was established and about 800,000 Palestinians lost their homes and became refugees.
Street exhibitions
When we started to act as a collective we set a goal to use photography as an instrument to create awareness on topics that we, as people who live in this time and place, aspire to change socially or politically. We believe in the power of people to create change in their own society, therefore we wish to directly address indivi-duals and groups with our work.
Refugees and Asylum seekers in Israel
In 2007, a new wave of African refugees began arriving in Israel. Most come from Sudan and Eritrea, areas of genocide and on-going conflict. In Israel they lack legal status or support, and are frequently arrested or left to live on the streets. Often refugees are accused of being “enemies” of Israel, citizens of countries such as Sudan, with which Israel has no official relationship.
Joint Struggle
The uprising of the second Intifada in 2000 marked a milestone in the formation of a new type of struggle in Israel and Palestine. The failure of the Oslo Accords resulted in the entrenchment of nationalism across Israel and a political shift to the right, including within the so-called “Peace Camp”. This left a void in the Israeli left-wing, and within this a new radical left began to grow. At the same time, widespread popular struggle and resistance erupt across the West Bank and the Gaza Strip.
