[NetBehaviour] 🌳🐝2023 is the year of the Interspecies Festival of Finsbury Park!!! 🐿️🎪✨

Mon Apr 24 23:38:42 CEST 2023

On Saturday and Sunday at the Parliament Square climate demonstration by
Extinction Rebellion (XR) I showed them these historical quotes by Leonardo
Da Vinci and Albert Einstein:

"Nature is the source of all true knowledge. She has her own logic, her own
laws, she has no effect without cause nor invention without necessity." –
Leonardo Da Vinci

"Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better." –
Albert Einstein

>>> 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
>>> <https://treaty.finsburypark.live/?page_id=9> 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
>>>
>>> *There are 3 parts to the story of the Treaty of Finsbury Park*
>>>
>>> Part 1. 2021-2022. The Interspecies Assemblies - these were games where
>>> everyone got to plan the Interspecies Festival of Finsbury Park 2023 - an
>>> event which to celebrate the drawing up of the treaty itself.
>>>
>>> Part 2. 2023. The Interspecies Festival of Finsbury Park - all the
>>> species of Finsbury Park are invited to join the festival in Summer 2023.
>>> Everyone then will be invited to choose from a set of proposed Treaty
>>> obligations and share their priorities and feelings.
>>>
>>> Part 3. 2023-25. The Treaty of Finsbury Park - a treaty of interspecies
>>> cooperation will go on display at Furtherfield Gallery along with Festival
>>> highlights and an invitation to ALL park users to pledge their support to
>>> bountiful biodiversity in Finsbury Park.
>>>
>>> By planning the Interspecies Festival together, human people from the
>>> locality and around the world have been engaged in building empathy
>>> pathways to other beings. They have been learning about what really matters
>>> to them and their habitats. They have been intensively exploring what it
>>> might mean to acknowledge the equal rights of more-than-human beings. They
>>> have drafted the Treaty and decided how to connect even more deeply with
>>> all the species of the park through a festival for all.
