Building the Invisible (Videomapping)
Antoni Gaudí died in 1926, unrecognized, run over by a tram — and a hundred years later his work stands for everything anonymity is not:
architecture that breathes, grows, and dissolves the border between nature and building.
For Fürther Glanzlichter 2026, Om Shira brings that tension to life on the façade of the historic castle at Schwabacher Straße 32. An audiovisual loop projection stages the collision between Gaudí’s organic curves and the rigid, rational grid of modern architecture — a grid that cracks, is overtaken by growth, and slowly pulls the organic back into itself, only to begin again.
Not a tribute. A question: what have we built in a hundred years without him — and what might we have built instead?
Where: Schwabacher Str. 32, Fürth/Germany (Open Air)

Solo & Unplugged
Stories and Songs from the Road
An intimate evening of music and memory. Om Shira takes the stage alone — voice, acoustic guitar — to share songs and stories gathered on his travels, with a special focus on Iran: tales of exile, longing, and the quiet resilience of a culture carried across borders.
The storyline is accompanied by Om Shira’s own video clips, adding a visual layer to the narrative and drawing the audience deeper into the journey.
Stripped back to its essence, this unplugged format invites the audience close, blending heartfelt storytelling with soulful, genre-blending soundscapes rooted in Persian melody and global influence.
A journey home, told one song at a time.

Sound Art Meditation (Workshop)
Together with our fellow artist friend Jovita Majewski, Om Shira is bringing once again a collaboration between The Inner Pearl and art!
Creativity is one of the most profound tools we have to access our Inner Pearl—this shining power core within us, flawless and beautiful regardless of what we have experienced in life.
Creativity has the power to transform dark emotions into something light and vivid.
Creativity is also a true form of prayer, bringing us closer to our divine self.
In this workshop, we focus on creativity and art alongside other pillars of The Inner Pearl, such as breathwork, somatic movement, and music. We provide painting materials and create a safe space for you to let your creative energy flow.
For this edition of Sound Meditation Art, we still have a few spots available!
Come and be part of it!
