Atta Jaber sits in his field with fellow villagers, after Israeli army contractors destroyed it and removed the irrigation system near the Jewish settlement of Kiryat Arba near Hebron, West Bank, October 29, 2009. The Israeli army claims the field poses a security threat because it is too close to the settlement.
The Activestills collective was established in 2005 by a group of documentary photographers, out of a strong conviction that photography is a vehicle for social change. We believe in the power of images to shape public attitudes and to raise awareness on issues that are generally absent from public discourse.
We view ourself as part of the struggle against all forms of oppression, racism, and violations of the basic right to freedom. We do work on various topics, including the grassroots movement and the popular struggle against the Israeli occupation, women’s rights, immigration, asylum-seekers, social justice, the siege on Gaza, and housing rights inside Israel.
