The Shiva Gala

Shiva Singham was a fashion identity well known for his sartorial flair and creativity, so it was only fitting that a celebration of his life would encompass these same qualities.

In November 2023, over 400 people from Melbourne’s fashion, racing and hospitality communities came together to commemorate the inaugural Shiva Gala at Zinc, Federation Square.

As the in-house AV supplier, we were honoured to join our partner Zinc as a sponsor of the Gala and worked closely with event producers, The Valentina Group Agency to bring the Shiva Gala committee’s vision to life and ensure a smooth delivery of all audio visual aspects. 

With a diverse program of speeches, video tributes and live musical performances from various satellite stages, our dB Technologies house PA easily covered the audio requirements for the entire space.

Across the main stage, we joined our two permanently installed LED screens at Zinc into a single striking 7m x 2m configuration with content controlled by the powerful Barco E2. 

In true Shiva style, a section of the event space was dedicated to elegant displays of the fashion icon’s most beloved capes. We highlighted these pieces from his famous collection with Astera Titan tubes and AX5s for pops of colour amongst the florals and also created a ceiling feature with Astera AX1 tubes above the central illuminated bar for an added touch of wow factor.
