Abstract
This contribution explores masking as a transdisciplinary medium developed through collaboration among an anthropologist, an artist, and a designer. Conceived within the Dialoguing Species project framework, masking creates pathways for reintroducing the wolf into the cultural and ecological landscape of the European Alps - a region where wolves have historically been hunted and marginalized, and where their return provokes persistent polarization. Integrating linocut imagery with scientific literature, this work amplifies the wolf's voice through both creative and scholarly lenses. As one of the crafty practices developed for Dialoguing Species, masking invites encounters between species and disciplines, fostering dialogue and mutual recognition. This paper presents the conceptual foundations and material production of masking alongside reflections from individuals who have created and worn them, challenging entrenched dualities and opening imaginative space for stories of human-wolf coexistence beyond polarization.
