The Treaty Of Finsbury Park 2025

An immersive fiction set in Londons Finsbury Park that looks at what it would be like if other species were to rise up and demand equal rights with humans, constructed through LARPs.

Goal

Biodiversity matters and is experiencing an alarming decline. We need to prioritize and promote biodiversity where we can. The Treaty is a long-term, in-depth exploration of how this can be done by an arts organisation in a green urban space.

Target audience(s)

1. Park visitors, <local, frequent users> (human) 2. Urban planners / council

Main activities

1. Treat the park and its species with respect in an informed way 2. Get convinced by the value of green space and its variety of species. Be inspired by possible ways of measuring and improving local biodiversity in collaboration with citizens.

Relevant dimensions

The dimensions most relevant to this project are: imagining, co-creating, embodying and caring

Close

Players work together to imagine and actually carry out festival activities and other shared plans (Imagining, Co-creating) that help support and foster the different species in the park (Caring). They tap into the needs of these species by acting, thinking and communicating like them (Embodying). These plans have a fictional imaginative basis, but their intent is to serve as inspiration for real action.
