Majlis Media
The Human Anthology is a living digital archive of voices from around the world, a media project in the spirit of Humans of New York but dedicated to our shared relationship with the Earth.
Through film and photography, it captures the stories of people encountered while travelling across countries and landscapes, asking each one a simple question: What does nature mean to you? Their answers are honest, intimate, and deeply human, reflections on beauty, belonging, loss, and the state of our bond with the natural world.

The project brings together video interviews and portrait photography, published on a dedicated platform that gives voice to ordinary people and their extraordinary connections to the Earth. Some stories become written features or essays, others are woven together into a collective documentary, a modern folklore of humanity’s dialogue with nature.

The Human Anthology is not only a website or a magazine. It is an experience, a growing map of human feeling, tracing the sublime and the sorrowful, from lives lived among the trees to those surrounded by cities of stone.
The Cave is where ideas, art, and spirit meet.
What began as a simple conversation has grown into a global series that brings together guest speakers, artists, and thinkers to share in the Majlis experience. Through the camera lens, a wider audience can now take part in that exchange.
Each edition of The Cave is directed by a different artist, academic, or creative figure, from rappers and photographers to professors and spiritual teachers. One gathering might explore the oriental roots of jazz, another might see a Chinese economist explaining modern monetary theory through Persian poetry. Every encounter adds a new colour to The Cave, always illumined by the light of dialogue.
The Cave is not bound to one place. Having proven the concept, it now travels freely from Accra to Los Angeles, from courtyards to studios, wherever ideas and art can meet. It is a space where the modern world meets deeper spirituality, where the real is preserved against the hyperreal.
The Cave is both an incubator and a refuge: a base from which new culture emerges.
