Description

The Interspecies Festival of Finsbury Park is part of The Treaty of Finsbury Park 2025, a collaborative project that depicts the story of the dawning of interspecies democracy. It’s a new era of equal rights for all living beings, where all species come together to organise and shape the environments and cultures they inhabit, in Finsbury Park (and urban green spaces across the UK, the world, and beyond!). Like many urban parks, Finsbury Park is fraught with environmental issues from noxious gases and traffic noises to governance struggles and financial sustainability.

If colonial systems of dominance and control over living beings continue we all face an apocalypse.

Based around a set of LARPs - or live action role play games - the Treaty of Finsbury Park 2025 is an immersive fiction played from more-than-human perspectives. Powered by the Sentience Dial it encourages the blooming of a bountiful biodiversity born of interspecies political action. Think like a dog, bee or even grass and help change the way we all see and participate in our local urban green spaces FOREVER
