The “Humane Archive” is a platform that archives the values, meaning, and dimensions of human beings, being in existence with nature, and its manifestations- non-human identities. This initiative is profoundly dedicated to archiving the documentary lives of ordinary people, as it frames the project as an act of compassionate preservation.

Essay; Tapas Sarkar; Imagination cannot be excluded from reality. In other words we can say that reality is the concrete reflection of imagination. When our bodily existence is concrete, then the mental or psycho existence is imaginary (conscious, subconscious, superconscious). As we are, fundamentally, made of body and mind. Therefore, our exclusive true existence is the blend of both these conditions complementarity. With imagination, Antoine de Saint's novella "The Little Prince" reflects this philosophical motto providing fruitful meanings of experience.       The story begins with an aviator who is lonely and frustrated in a desert after his plane crush, where he finds a little prince whose experience of life is a little strange to an earthly man like the aviator, but the little prince's  experience is important to formulate a revolution in the aviator's struggle. Here the little prince can be the aviator himself and the aviator can be interpreted as the re...
