Even before the revolution came to a close, the women of Santa María felt liberated. Lacking the complex social stratosphere of Mexico City or even Monterrey, there was little to hold them back and the increasing number of tourists brought in a steady stream of fresh ideas in fashion and politics. The women bobbed their hair, read La Mujer Moderna, and told tales of Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz. They started their own businesses, shunning the paths expected of them, of raising children and slaving away at a stove. They rode horses and trekked into the hills, discovering stone cities and dancing and drinking mezcal around fires long into the night. The men in town didn’t always approve, nor did the church, but they never relented.
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.
