About
An interactive concert experience where ancient Persian poetry meets cutting-edge tech. You'll experience immersive digital art, follow a 13th-century poet’s journey to enlightenment, and watch live musicians transform the space with light and sound.
Impact
SHAMS pioneers cultural preservation through AI, projections, and music, celebrating Persian heritage while creating opportunities for artists across disciplines. It brings ancient wisdom to modern audiences and sustains diverse creative voices.
Progress
SHAMS premiered in 2023 to over 1,000 audiences and critical acclaim. Now reimagined for 2025, the work evolves to include dance (Bruce Wood Dance Dallas) and expanded tech elements while deepening its connections with the national MENA community.
Team
Our team unites Baumann's Web3 innovations, Brukhman's immersive experiences, and Aminikia's cross-cultural compositions. Together, we bridge ancient wisdom and cutting-edge tech to create transformative art that resonates globally.
