The Center for Islamic Civilization in Tashkent stands at the intersection of culture, history, and faith. It's a place where Uzbekistan's rich intellectual and artistic heritage meets the possibilities of the future. Through conversations with scholars, curators, and craftspeople, we see how an idea conceived nearly a decade ago has grown into a national center dedicated to rediscovering the spirit of the Islamic Golden Age. Inside its walls, ancient manuscripts are being preserved and digitized, thousands of artifacts have been returned home, and new technologies bring history vividly to life. Beyond the Center, in the workshops of the Abul Kasim Madrasah, master artisans, woodcarvers, miniature painters, and ceramicists continue traditions that have shaped the region for centuries. Together, these voices reveal a living continuation of creativity and knowledge, showing how the legacy of Islamic civilization is not only remembered, but renewed in the heart of modern Uzbekistan.

Call to Earth

Call to Earth

Our waterways often bear the brunt of modern-day human negligence. Most of India's ponds, lakes and oceans are polluted or contaminated due to human activity. Led by founder Arun Krishnamurthy, Environmentalist Foundation of India (EFI) focuses on reviving these bodies of water through a community-based conservation effort, with their work now extending into the surrounding forest ecosystems. Arun takes us on a journey across India - from the north in Delhi to the south in Chennai - for a firsthand look at EFI's most critical and ongoing projects, and the tens of thousands of volunteers that make it all possible.

In southwestern Zimbabwe, art has been a language for millennia. Scattered across the towering hills are cave paintings dating back over 13,000 years. Today, in the rural villages of the Matobos, another vibrant tradition thrives house painting. A seasonal tradition has now become an annual competition rewarding the winners of My Beautiful Home, which has not only helped preserve an ancestral tradition and improve local women's livelihoods, but has now inspired spin-outs in the world of modern art, interior design, and fashion.
