Mayor Henríquez didn’t live in Santa María. It wasn’t even clear if he had ever been there. Still, residents were willing to give him a chance. The population was growing steadily, yet basic services were few and far between. With the rough roads, all basic foods arrived by boat, with a generous tax added on, yet supply chains were still unreliable, forcing many to horde everything they could when it was available, leading to further shortages. Wells often ran dry, causing crops to die and water to be rationed. There was nowhere for trash and sewage to go but into the sea. People were fed up. Maybe some help from the government might be just what was needed?
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.
