Thousands of Palestinians from the West Bank wait to cross the Israeli-manned Qalandiya checkpoint, in order to attend the second Friday prayer of Ramadan in Al-Aqsa mosque in Jerusalem, June 9, 2017. During Ramadan, Israeli authorities exceptionally allow women of all ages and men over 40 to enter from the West Bank to Jerusalem, while boys over 11 were not allowed.
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.
