  • Logan creative and Artist in Residence Louise Wheatley created the motion picture Feathered friends.  During her residency, artist Louise ventured into Logan’s wetlands, parks, and urban landscapes to capture the vibrant sights and sounds of our region’s birdlife. Using these evocative video and audio recordings, she created a captivating sound and visual content that forges an inspiring connection between visitors and the birds that bring our city to life. Audiences were invited to experience Logan from a fresh, immersive and poetic perspective.
