Shared Gravity, 2026

This Pride Month, 1-30 June, LGBTQIA+ artist and curator Shannon Novak continues their ongoing collaboration with Mirvac to present Shared Gravity, a vibrant new series of artworks across multiple sites.  

Developed in close partnership with local LGBTQIA+ communities, this year's bright and bold installations in our office assets in Melbourne and Brisbane explore the 2026 global Pride themes of solidarity and equity.  

By translating what these vital concepts mean to the community through the lens of contemporary art, the work highlights Mirvac’s enduring commitment to engaging with, listening to, and supporting LGBTQIA+ people across Australia.

The installations will be live until 30 June. 

Shannon’s artwork can be viewed at the following office buildings. Each building is attributed to a line of the poem.
