Israelis take cover with the sound of emergency sirens, near a house damaged by a rocket fired from the Gaza Strip, in the southern city of Ashkelon, Israel, July 16, 2014. Four children on the beach in Gaza City were killed in an Israeli airstrike, raising the overall death toll to over 200 Palestinians as operation 'Protective Edge' enters it's ninth day. One Israeli civilian was killed on July 15 from a direct hit near the Erez Crossing.
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.
