Villagers from Bil'in set up an outpost as a way to establish presence on their own land confiscated by Israeli authorities to make way for the Separation Wall, Bil'in, West Bank, March 29th, 2007. Used as a creative tactic of resistance the activists built a one-room structure from cement, which they've called the Center for Joint Struggle. The outpost was situated on land adjacent to, and in plain view of the Matityahu East neighborhood of Modi'in Ilit, where illegal Jewish housing units have been constructed by the Israeli government.
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.
