OIL publication: launch and story so far

OIL online launch Thursday 7th November 6-7pm GMT

This publication has developed from ‘Oil as far as the eye can see – Energy regimes in the everyday’ a tour curated and guided by Rachel Grant that took place across Aberdeen, as part of Myvillages’ Summer Camp titled ‘Who Has the Energy’, commissioned, produced and held at Scottish Sculpture Workshop in Lumsden, July 2023.

Join us for a presentation and discussion with OIL publication author and editor Rachel Grant (Fertile ground, Aberdeen), Sam Trotman (Programme & Partnerships Director Scottish Sculpture Workshop, Lumsden, Aberdeenshire), Kathrin Böhm (Myvillages) and Scott Herrett (Just Transition Organiser for Friends of the Earth Scotland and member of Friends of St. Fittick’s Park, Aberdeen).

The conversations on oil, art, interdependence and complicity between Rachel, Kathrin and Sam started in 2021 during the British Art Show taking place in Aberdeen. Click here for the recording.

The launch event extends the local discussions and conversations into a trans-local place of recognising shared practices of refusal and redistribution.

The event and those involved supports the local fights for a fair and green transition in Abderdeen. Please support Friends of St Fittick’s Park and Tory resident campaign resisting ETZ plans by Aberdeen council, and follow the campaign on Instagram.
