Someone shot down with a slingshot a Chaco police drone in the Gran Toba neighborhood in Resistencia (Chaco, Argentina) during June 2020; the Qom indigenous community was being militarily monitored with the argument of controlling the spread of covid-19. One hundred years ago, before bombing the Qom people in the Napalpí massacre, a group of people of the air force posed for a photo that years later would be used as evidence against the State in the judgment against humanity. The arrangement of closeness between the images of dissimilar times accentuates the similarity between their operating mechanisms in distant times and with different technologies. Faced with the microfascisms of today and always in the same territory, the slingshot is perhaps a decolonial gesture of resistance against systematic violence and the despotism of images.
