The Fittie Past, Present and Possibility exhibition explores Fittie’s relationship with the sea and its history. It also looks at Fittie’s history as an embarkation point for emigrating Scots. It shares experiences of arrival from some of Aberdeen’s migrant population and the role of community halls in access to, and participation in, the cultural life of a city.
A collaboration between Open Road and the Fittie Community Development Trust, Safe Harbour Open Sea initiated events, creative projects and podcasts that celebrate Fittie’s rich history and heritage – a unique sea-facing community nestled against a global oil port.
As well as casting an eye to the future of Fittie as a coastal community, Fittie Past, Present and Possibility explores ways to be good ancestors as Aberdeen, Scotland and the world prepare for a net zero carbon emissions future by 2045.
Kevin Mitchell and Chris Sansbury founded POST. This was from a desire to cut through the noise to share the great things that happen in Aberdeen. They focus on community, culture and also the interesting people of the city. The local artists, businesses and charities; photographers, musicians and entertainers. These are the people that make a positive impact on our city every day. So they use video, audio, writing and social media to amplify the voices in our community. And to ultimately give a platform to Aberdeen folk to engage and tell their own stories.
Recent work includes coverage of Spectra 2023, interviews with We Are Here Scotland founder Ica Headlam; Paralympic gold medalist, Neil Fachie; Aberdeen rapper Chef and his push for success; an article about the pedestrianisation of Union Street; coverage of Nuart Aberdeen and TEDx Aberdeen, as well as coverage of the campaign to Save the Belmont.
We are independent and entirely self funded. We just about cover our costs, but if you would like to help support our work, you could buy us a coffee.
