Our Wildkin
These are our wildkin. Their survival is our story, too.
At Emerald Curtain Collective, we create art that brings attention to the deep, often invisible ties between species, landscapes, and people. Through masks, performance, and storytelling, we honor the animals that call Oregon’s coastal forests and waters home.
These species are more than symbols. They are essential actors in our ecosystem—some thriving, some struggling, and some lost from our landscape but not from memory.
This growing collection highlights a few of the wild kin we honor through our work. Each profile shares what makes them unique, what threatens their survival, and why protecting their future protects our own.
