Part of The Treaty of Finsbury Park 2025
Join us for fun with family and friends in Finsbury Park to connect with park life in fantastical new ways
Started in 2020, The Treaty of Finsbury Park 2025 is 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!
How can I Join In?
Take part in the Multi-species Meditations: 11am, 2pm and 3pm Saturday and Sunday led by Scirius the cockney squirrel, played by Human artist Max Dovey. Use your imagination to transform into another species with a totally different sense of what is important. Who will you be: a dog, a stag beetle, a bee, a Canada goose, the grass, a squirrel or a London plane tree?
Use the magical Finsbury Park Sentience Dial app to scan the park and meet up to 7 local park species representatives, and make your pledge for bountiful biodiversity, with help from young human representatives from MyPlace Finsbury Park!
Visit the Exhibition
⇨ Watch Tracy Kiryango’s short docu-fiction film The Interspecies Festival of Finsbury Park 2023 celebrating the cultures and talents of ALL Finsbury Park’s species, and using camera, lighting and post-production effects to convey multi-species-perspectives of the festival events.
⇨ Join the Multisensory Mystery Tour to see, hear and smell the old forest through the sensory superpowers of squirrels, trees, and dogs…
⇨ Hear the squeaks, squawks, howls and honks of the Multispecies Choir and their “songs” of lament, celebration and protest…
⇨ Sample delicacies from Pass-The-Poop-Parcel, the multi-species gastronomy game…
⇨ Learn about biodiversity in Finsbury Park…
Help shape the first-ever interspecies treaty of cooperation for bountiful biodiversity!
Biodiversity is crucial in reducing the harmful effects of climate change and city parks have a huge part to play. It’s time to spark new ways of being, feeling and acting together!
The Treaty of Finsbury Park 2025 is a major project led by Furtherfield, exploring new ways to build empathy pathways to non-human lifeforms through play.
