The aim of the Arctic collaborative project 'Living in the landscape' (LiLa) is to bring together students and researchers from various disciplines to develop aesthetic learning processes through culture-sensitive and sustainable research on socio-cultural landscapes in the European-Arctic region. Covid 19 meant that the project, instead of a physical meeting in a shared landscape, was changed to an Online Spring School. Participants produced artistic expressions that were presented in an online exhibition, in addition to visual essays. Based on the authors' five essays focusing on local traditions with wool, starch and down, we will show how a shared understanding of the landscape's multifaceted meaning developed in an online community across disciplines and cultural differences. Our Norwegian contributions exemplify how it is possible to convey knowledge about traditions, culture and identity in a digital cultural community.
