Israeli soldiers prevent Palestinian workers from crossing through a damaged section of the separation fence near the West Bank checkpoint of Meitar, near Hebron. Following the recent attacks against Israeli forces and settlers which took place in 1948 Palestine, the Israeli army has been stricter in denying Palestinian movement without military permits. While West Bank Palestinians have to obtain military movement permits to travel across the Green Line, Israeli settlers travel freely without permission through special checkpoints.
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.
