The Friendly Falcons & Their Friend the Snake is the collaborative team of Jeffrey Kurosaki and Tara Pelletier. We build multi-layered narrative projects using sculpture, video, music and performance. We create contemporary folklore that describes universal emotions and the human condition by combining stylized landscapes, natural phenomena and personified animals.

The Friendly Falcons have exhibited and performed internationally, including a self-organized European and Scandic tour in 2010. They were recipients of the Toby Devon Lewis Award and were artists-in residence on Governors Island through the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council.
