OIL

In July 2023, Scottish Sculpture Workshop (SSW ) and Myvillages delivered a four-day Summer Camp, titled “Who has the Energy?”, which explored the material and immaterial energy that shapes cultural work through hands-on sessions, talks, dinners and cultural action. The camp took place in the home village of SSW in Lumsden (Aberdeenshire), connecting the “localised, transformative cultural practice [of SSW ] into a wider multi-local and international context”. The Summer Camp intended to “address connections between; the economics of oil and everyday culture, rural practice and cultural desires, and the social energy in a caring multispecies world” (SSW2024).
