When a hurricane swept through the Caribbean, touching down in Cuba and later crossing the tip of the Yucatán Peninsula, it caused copious amounts of destruction. As it moved northwest across the Gulf of Mexico, it regrouped, and the winds intensified. It headed right for Tamaulipas. There was little the people of Santa María could do, yet they were spared the worst of the storm. The tops of a few palms had blown off and a few fishing boats were blown on to land and overturned, but it was almost as if there was some sort of magical shield protecting the village and its people. As the tropical cyclone moved into the interior of Mexico, heavy rains caused the Santa Catarina River to overflow its banks, destroying half of the city of Monterrey. Thousands were killed and many more were left without homes. Hundreds arrived on foot, seeking shelter in Santa María, more than doubling the population.
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.
