Palestinian Bedouins holding Israeli citizenship try to stop Israeli bulldozers being used in a tree-planting program carried out by the Jewish National Fund (JNF) on the land of the village fo Sa’we al-Atrash in the Naqab desert, also known as Negev, January 12, 2022. Since its creation in 1901, the JNF has been acquiring lands serving the settler-colonial project in the region of Palestine. To this day, Israel bans Palestinian refugees of the Naqab, most of whom are currently in Gaza's refugee camps, from returning to their ethnically cleansed towns in favor of Israeli settlers.
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.
