Three 16 year olds watched a child drink from a plastic container. What they invented next just won a global prize.
Avyana Mehta, Ariana Agarwal and Vivaan Chhawchharia (all 16) are the first Indian team to win The Earth Prize, the world's largest environmental contest for teens, chosen by 23,000 public votes (May 29, 2026).
Their invention Plas Stick, a biodegradable powder from waste tamarind seeds, makes microplastics in water clump together, ready to be pulled out with a handheld magnet. No electricity, no filter system needed.
The idea was born on a village visit, watching a child drink from a communal plastic container. Their workshops have already reached more than 8,000 people across India.

SYMBIOTIC RELATIONSHIPS
talks and workshops
during Meeting the Lough On Its Own Terms
by Ami Clarke

SONIC RITUAL
John D'Arcy and HIVE choir
with Ami Clarke
workshop and live jam​

Saturday 6th June
workshop 5-7pm at Banner Repeater
performance 7.30pm



​​What does it mean to “meet the lough on its own terms”?
And what role do art and technology play in this?


Rituals have acted historically, as early technological interfaces, scoring human / nature relationships, in very particular ways. The work emphasises listening and sound, as practices that can de-centre the human, amongst the vulnerable ecologies of Lough Neagh and the watershed.

The Sonic Ritual live jam performance brings together Clarke with John D’Arcy and HIVE choir, where performing live together proposes new ways of ‘being’ in the world ‘with other species’. Foregrounding considerations of how human voice/s in a polyphonic approach might sit within the delicate ensemble of a multi-species perspective, to reflect the new calibration we are hoping to bring about: a new symbiotic calibration of humans and nature, whilst furthering a paradigm shift to a microbial scale.

Join us tonight for Lucy Sollitt (previously Creative Director of FutureEverything) in conversation with Ami Clarke. Thursday 21st May 7-9pm.

What does it mean to “meet the lough on its own terms”?
And what role do art and technology play in this?

Join Lucy Rose Sollit and Ami Clarke for a conversation exploring this question in context of Ami’s artwork that emphasises a more-than-human: symbiotic approach, and Nature Directed an initiative devised and implemented by Lucy while Creative Director of FutureEverything, which rethinks creative and organisational workflows so that the Web of Life is an active participant and decision-maker.

The conversation will look at how art and curatorial practices can be adapted to support the urgent work of reconnection and repair with our more-than-human kin, and the questions that emerge along the way - from who speaks for Nature and how, to how we interpret the myriad ways in which Nature “speaks” itself, and how we find a balance between human and more-than-human interests.

The talk is part of the Systems Collapse: Symbiotic Relations talks and workshops that emphasise ‘thinking through together’ how art can provide and support alternative visions and methodologies to germinate, that encourage a de-centring of the human (not de-valuing), decolonial, eco-feminist, and posthuman/more-than-human position to flourish, whilst nurturing radical new ways for rethinking sustainability.

We explore: how this pathfinding work both intersects with, and departs from, the growing Rights of Nature movement; the increasing role technologies play in mediating ecological relations and the need for deep relational and justice oriented frameworks to guide technological development; and how art and artists can navigate these questions.

This event draws a long running conversation between Ami and Lucy on the entangling of art and ecology in the context of the postnatural and, and how ecological understanding informs new ways of practising art today.
