Wilderness at Home
By Kush Sethi | 10:00 AM IST | 29 August 2020
Ever since the lockdown was announced, many of us found ourselves disconnected from the natural world. Kushi Sethi, an ecological gardener and urban forager, will help you find ways to explore nature from the safety of your home.
Since humans dominate what survives around them, let's spot life forms that exist freely and ponder over why they flourish; weeds in the garden and on walls, flying insects & reptiles indoors, birds that visit us and leave, insects in the garden, the microbes in our food and the ones in the food waste.
Sustainable Dark Room Project
By Hannah Fletcher | 2:00 PM IST | 29 August 2020
Photographic development is the chemical process by which a photographic film or paper is treated after exposure to create an image. If you’ve ever had the opportunity to enter or create a dark room in a studio, you would notice the pungent smells which arise from using various acids and halides to develop an image. But what if you could create these images using plant based developers?
Hannah Fletcher of the London Alternative Photography Collective explored the possibilities of doing so in the Sustainable Dark Room Project.
For the Love of Plants

Aquatic plants are not just a beautiful addition to gardens or aquariums. They have an essential role to play in balancing fragile ecosystems. Certain species can help indicate the water quality of local water bodies. Sumita Bhattacharya, a PhD student at ATREE has been studying how bioindicators can be used to study water quality.
