As Santa María was still grappling with the sudden death of Mr. Flores, hundreds of families in dilapidated oceanfront communities were evicted from their homes. Their belongings were piled in the streets or being dragged across town by mules. Confusion set in. Why was this happening? Why now? Their houses were too close together. Or they were made of mud bricks and thatched roofs and were considered not up to code. Or they did not have the proper paperwork. Entire neighborhoods were cleared out and residents were left homeless. There was no debate about their rights. They were squatters, the bank said. Someone else owned the rights to all of this property.
“Sirs, our families settled this land!”
“But, did you file a legal claim to it with the Office of Land Management in Ciudad Victoria?”
“No.”
“Well, someone else has.”
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.
