A child climbs on the remains of houses demolished by Israeli authorities in the village of Al Araqib in the Negev (Naqab) Desert of southern Israel, February 22, 2014. Al Araqib is a village of Bedouin citizens of Israel which remains "unrecognized" by the Israeli government, and therefore lacks access to basic services. Authorities have demolished the village's structures more than 60 times. The Jewish National Fund plans to create a new forest that would cover the site of the village.
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.
