After the Tlatelolco massacre in Mexico City, the Olympic Games went off with few issues, however, the Guerra Sucia, the Dirty War, would linger for years to come. While the core of the violence was elsewhere, Santa María was not immune to it. Tensions flared around town as unemployment started to rise. The viciousness never reached the intensity of other regions. A few Che Guevara t-shirts here and there. A few road blocks that were swiftly broken up. There was one major incident, or at the least the appearance of one. A laid off Blackjack dealer, Guillermo Hernández, protesting in front of the Grand Hotel, was grabbed by several men and pushed into a van and blindfolded, leading to a confused atmosphere for the following 12 hours. It turned out to be his birthday and his friends were playing a prank on him. They surprised him with a party later that evening.

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.
