A solo piano performance inside L.A.’s monument of light and space.

Inside the vast, echoing galleries of The Broad Museum in downtown Los Angeles, award-winning composer and pianist Kris Bowers takes a solitary seat at an upright Steinway to perform a live, improvised score. His performance draws from Philip Glass’ original music composed for Shirin Neshat’s films and is inspired by the museum’s landmark exhibition, Shirin Neshat: I Will Greet the Sun Again.

Blending haunting melody with raw emotion, Bowers channels the themes that define Neshat’s work—exile, identity, and resistance—into a transcendent musical experience. As he moves through the museum, the film becomes a quiet conversation between artists.

Directed by William & Gianina and created in collaboration with The Broad and Discover DTLA, Reflections of Shirin Neshat was the first independent film ever granted permission to film inside the museum.

“Beautiful music and beautifully shot and made film, thank you all from the bottom of my heart”

— Shirin Neshat
