Inspired by what they had seen in Bil'in, the group went on to form 'Activestills', a collective whose work has become vital in documenting the struggle against Israeli occupation and everyday life in extraordinary situations. 'Activestills: Photography as Protest in Palestine/Israel' examines the collective's archive and activity from historical, theoretical, critical, and personal perspectives. It is the result of an in-depth dialogue among members of the collective and activists, journalists, intellectuals, and academics, and stands as the definitive study of the collective's work. Combining striking full-colour photographs with essays and commentary, 'Activestills' stands as both a major contribution to reportage on Israel/Palestine and a unique collection of visual art.Arab-Israeli conflictPictorial worksMiddle EastPalestinefastIsraelfastillustrated books.aatIllustrated works.fastPictorial works.fastIllustrated works.lcgftOuvrages illustrés.rvmgfArab-Israeli conflict956.04Maimon VeredGrinbaum ShirazMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910136588603321Activestills3062389UNINA
