Palestinians protest in front of the Israeli prime minister's office in Jerusalem against the forestation program being carried out by the Jewish National Fund (JNF) as a means of colonizing the Naqab and preventing Bedouin communities from using the land for grazing and agriculture, Jerusalem, January 30, 2022. Since its creation in 1901, the JNF has been a major force in acquiring lands and serving the Zionist settler-colonial project in the region of Palestine. Dozens of Bedouin have been arrested in recent weeks protesting the JNF plan.
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.
