Linking place-based poetry\, film\, and web-based medi a\, this\ntalk considers how Roseanne Watt’s filmpoem _Sullom_ (2014)\nu nsettles dominant histories of North Sea oil culture (petroculture)\nin th e Shetland Isles by confronting environmental and spatial\ninjustices. _Su llom’s_ musical score offers an additional element\nthat creates an anti -aesthetic\, ironizing petrochemical advertisement\ncampaigns produced by energy companies such as Suncor Energy’s _See\nWhat Yes Can Do_ (2013). Watt’s filmpoem ultimately confronts the\nspaces of Sullom Voe\, which i s an enormous oil terminal on Shetland\,\nthrough a combination of literar y and visual narratives of place that\nreclaim ways of being in the world from the dominant petroculture in\nwhich they function.\n DTSTAMP:20250517T030427Z END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
