Amidst the controversy, the oil companies and new landowners, stepped in to flaunt their power. They sent in bulldozers and demolition crews to clear the tangled network of homes and paid off the Federales to quash any attempts to stop them. They were unarmed peasants, working odd jobs that no one else would take and living in crowded homes, clinging to their few possessions. To those that now claimed the land, they were léperos. El pueblo bajo. Stories were planted in La Voz de Santa María about how they spread diseases, stole and raped. There was no reason to expose any children to their pitiful state. It was a matter of public safety to ensure they were removed from this community as swiftly as possible.
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.
