The exhibition presents the results of an international Summer School’s field trip to Komi villages that are located along the River Vym. The Summer School is coordinated by the Faculty of Art and Design, University of Lapland.
During the field trip, the environment, landscapes and people's everyday life in the villages were studied through multidisciplinary methods and theoretical approaches of natural science, anthropology and art. The exhibition was built using art-based methods and combining the different perspectives and research results as a whole that at the same time present these Komi villages and also the multidisciplinary collaboration.
