Armando and Priscilla, became devotees of the Virgin, thanking her for bringing their daughter back to them. They welcomed Raúl into the family and made plans for their marriage the following week. The women and men of the village joined together to build a home for the young family. A goat was slaughtered, and a pit was dug to make barbacoa for the wedding, for which La Chichimeca was the maid of honor. The festivities ensued for several days, attracting neighbors far and wide. Word of the miracle began to spread throughout the state of Tamaulipas and beyond. A note in the magazine El Mundo Ilustrado from Puebla captured the attention of Bishop Rafael Guizar Valencia, who sent a priest to establish a church in the village of “Santa María de las Rocas.”
A novella by Nicholas Gill and Alejandro Cartagena.
A collection of 151 “expired photographs” that were thrown out, collected from a tianguis outside of Mexico City by photographer and archivist Alejandro Cartagena and then pieced together and reimagined by writer Nicholas Gill. The 151-page novella tells the tale of the fictional town of Santa María de las Rocas, located in the Mexican state of Tamaulipas.
The story traces this coastal community from its humble origins at the turn of the century to the 1980s, as it corresponds to real events in the history of this corner of Mexico. As years pass, the landscape changes and the community grows and develops. There’s corruption and violence, magic and hope. Characters fall in love and fall apart. Their voices are heard. Their songs are sung.
The existence of this project is designed to question the very nature of storytelling and its possibilities in the digital age. As such, it’s done as a CO0, for free public use.
