For the young men in Santa María, reading and writing were secondary to contributing to their household chores, as there was much work to be done in the fields. They were expected to be productive, even in their youth. To do hard labor and support their families. Indigenous boys, many who wandered to the village alone, children without homes that lived in the forest, were forced to speak Spanish and forget the sorcery of their ancestors. To believe in Christ all mighty, the only true God. Many of them disappeared back into the woods, at least that’s what the teachers said, though who really knows for sure. Those who stayed were broken down and rebuilt into young gentlemen that could build a household virtuously.
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.
