Inside Dorado Textil, a small factory that supplied the local hospitality industry, there was a celebration among employees for a record year. The women, many of them single mothers or heads of households, grinded out long hours to meet excessive deadlines. Hundreds and hundreds of linens and curtains, thousands and thousands of handkerchiefs and tablecloths. These women were more productive than any textile manufacturer in all of Mexico, their supervisor told them, though no one was sure if he was being truthful. Still, they appreciated the sentiment as they were pushed to the limits of their physical capabilities.

“You’ve done swell gals. Really swell. There’s more work to do tomorrow, but tonight it’s time for a drink,” he said as he raised his glass.

Santa Maria de las Rocas collection image

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.
