Palestinian workers climb the bars in an attempt to bypass the line at the Israeli-manned checkpoint in Bethlehem on their way to work in Israeli cities, Bethlehem, West Bank, March 19, 2017. From the early hours of the morning, thousands of Palestinians from the southern West Bank arrive at the Bethlehem checkpoint, awaiting its opening in order to get through as quickly as possible.
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.
