Join us for the launch for a beautiful photo exhibit by ActiveStills, with short films & speakers.
Event: Bilin A Village United Against the Wall
Time: Thursday Mar 12, 2009 ( 5:30 – 7:30 PM)
Location: Café Aquin, Local A-2030 ( 400 St-Catherine Est). Montreal
Aquin from March 1-27, 2009 (as part of the 5th international Israeli
Apartheid Week, from March 1-9).
Exhibition features photos from the ongoing popular struggle against
Israels apartheid wall, and daily life and survival in Bilin, Palestine.
Bilin, a village of less than 2000 residents in the West Bank, recently
launched a law suit against Greenpark and Greenmount, two companies
registered in Montreal, who are alleged to have ties to illegal settlement
development on Bilins land. Preliminary proceedings are already underway
at the Superior Court of Quebec in Montreal, and
Tadamon! Montreal will be actively supporting the lawsuit throughout 2009.

ActiveStills is a group of documentary photographers acting for social
change, convinced in the power of photography as a vehicle of change
through awareness. They seek to bring awareness to issues and situations
that they believe create social injustice, through images that question
the society in which we live in.
ActiveStills operates in Israel and Palestine and focuses on social and
political documenting, projects production, publications and open
exhibitions at topics in which the public is not exposed in its daily
informative routines, managed by the established media.
