The Treaty Signing Events

The Treaty of Finsbury Park 2025 is an immersive fiction that looks at what it would be like if other species were to rise up and demand equal rights with humans. For 5 years human park-lovers have taken part in this fiction by playing for and as another species (so, like, NOT as a human ok?!).

Now you can be among the first to pledge your support for a cooperation agreement between ALL living species in Finsbury Park.

From October 2024 you can visit the park with your friends and family to access the magical Finsbury Park Sentience Dial app and tune into all flora and fauna. Scan the park and meet up to 7 local park species representatives before making your pledge for bountiful biodiversity!
