The fourth international and interdisciplinary art methods school Living in the Landscape (LiLa) took place in between March and October 2023. This series of schools is organized by the University of Arctic’s thematic network Arctic Sustainable Art and Design (ASAD). This year (2023) we have undertaken another hybrid delivery with in situ site working in Umeå and the High Coast area of Sweden. The participating MA and PhD students and scholars this year came from several ASAD partner institutions: Umeå University (Sweden), the University of Lapland (Finland), Nord University (Norway), the University of the West of Scotland (Scotland), the University of the Highlands and Islands (Scotland), Yukon School of Art (Canada), and University of Alaska, Anchorage (Canada). The participants came from the disciplines of art education, general teacher education, fine arts, creative practice, and clothing design. This publication presents the art-based results and exhibition of the summer school and the landscape studies of the participants in the form of visual essays. The exhibition has been on display at Umeå University’s teacher education department in November 2023.
