Palestinians walk through a destroyed quarter in Shujayea neighborhood in the east of Gaza City, during a ceasefire, July 26, 2014. During the ceasefire on July 26, many Palestinians went back to Shujayea to inspect the damages together with medics who attempted to rescue injured and collect bodies. Dozens of bodies were collected but many remain as Palestinians do not have all the necessary equipment to dig through the debris. Israeli attacks turned the neighborhood into a scene of utter devastation, with entire buildings flattened and thousands forced to flee. Israeli attacks have killed more than 1,000 Palestinians and have injured around 5,000 in the current offensive.
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.
