Palestinians run from tear gas during a protest at the Gaza fence, east of Gaza city, August 10, 2018. This demonstration is part of a series of a protests which started on March 30 for Land day and is called the "Great Return March", demanding for the Right of Return for Palestinian refugees that were displaced in 1948 from their towns and villages and the end of the siege. Since the beginning of protests on March 30,Israeli forces have killed at least 164 Palestinians and wounded more than 18,000 people, according to health officials in Gaza.
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.
