It emphasizes the significance of images as visual testimonies and the capacity of photographs to influence the perception of truth and the construction of historical and social narratives. There is an emphasis on the impact of digital image manipulation and the growing distrust in the veracity of photographs, which poses challenges in the fight against denialism and the creation of false narratives. Historical examples of image manipulation are mentioned, underscoring the importance of working towards the construction of social imaginaries based on ethics and intellectual honesty. Furthermore, it highlights the importance of responding to hate speech and intolerance through the production and circulation of images that promote memory and truth. Examples of artistic and political actions that have used images as tools for protest and raising awareness of events, particularly in the Argentine context marked by military dictatorship and human rights abuses, are mentioned. A call is made to address these challenges collectively and through a multidisciplinary approach in an era marked by post-truth and information manipulation. Este artículo explora la intersección entre la memoria, el testimonio y la fotografía en la construcción de la comprensión de eventos pasados y cómo esta relación está siendo desafiada en la era digital. Se destaca la importancia de las imágenes como testimonios visuales y la capacidad de las fotografías para influir en la percepción de la verdad y en la construcción de narrativas históricas y sociales. Se pone énfasis en el impacto de la manipulación de imágenes digitales y la creciente desconfianza en la veracidad de las fotografías, lo que plantea desafíos en la lucha contra el negacionismo y la construcción de narrativas falsas. Se mencionan ejemplos históricos de manipulación de imágenes y se subraya la importancia de trabajar en la construcción de imaginarios sociales basados en la ética y la honestidad intelectual. Asimismo, se destaca la importancia de responder a los discursos de odio y la intolerancia a través de la producción y circulación de imágenes que promuevan la memoria y la verdad. Se mencionan ejemplos de acciones artísticas y políticas que han utilizado las imágenes como herramientas de protesta y visibilización de los hechos, especialmente en el contexto argentino, marcado por la dictadura militar y los crímenes de lesa humanidad y se hace un llamado a abordar estos desafíos de manera colectiva y multidisciplinaria en una era marcada por la posverdad y la manipulación de la información.
