A protester holds a sign reading "Neyanyahu- Wanted dead or alive", during an emergency demonstration following the massacre committed in Rafah the night before, Paris, France, May 27, 2024. In that attack, the Israeli colonial forces fired missiles into a tent camp for displaced people in an area that was designated as a "safe zone". At least 45 people were killed, most of them children and women, many of them burned alive, and 249 wounded. The attack came only three days after the International Court of Justice (ICJ) ordered Israel to immediately halt its military assault on the southern Gaza city of Rafah, triggering an International outcry and worldwide demonstrations.
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.
