A participant in the annual March of Return holds a Palestinian flag at the depopulated village of Mi'ar, northeast of Haifa, May 5, 2022. The event is held each year in one of the 531 towns that were ethnically cleansed by Israel in 1948. To this day, Israel bans the return of millions of Palestinian refugees in favor of Israeli settlers living on their lands, and in some cases, in their houses.
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.
