Where do I belong?

Celebrating connection, creativity, and conservation

Where do I belong? is a vibrant celebration of art, nature, and community, inviting everyone to imagine a future where Australia’s birdlife thrives.

In the lead up to the exhibition at Logan Art Gallery from Saturday 20 June 2026, there are many hands-on opportunities for residents to create some works by
participating in the artist residency projects.

The Where do I belong? exhibition uses contemporary art to explore the beauty and vulnerability of our native birds, while sparking hope and action for a more sustainable world.

Bringing together Queensland and nationally based artists, environmental experts, First Nations voices, youth, and disability advocates from the region, this collaborative project speaks to the power of creativity to unite and uplift. With engaging content and inclusive public programs designed especially for ages 5 to 30, Where do I belong? is accessible to all and encourages every visitor to reflect, connect, and contribute.

The exhibition culminates in the Art and Nature Symposium on Saturday 22 August 2026, a dynamic gathering to share ideas, celebrate community, and promote positive environmental action.

Come be inspired. Discover your place in the story. Help shape a future where every bird, and every person belongs.

Artist in Residence: Mary Elizabeth Barron

As part of her residency, Mary Elizabeth Barron will lead a series of vibrant, hands-on community workshops across Logan Libraries, Logan Art Gallery, and the Living Museum of Logan. Participants will transform reused soft plastics into beautifully crafted individual feathers, each one a unique expression of creativity and sustainability.

These feathers will come together in a stunning collaborative artwork: a single, giant feather assembled by the artist herself. This powerful symbol of unity and environmental consciousness will be installed on the façade of Logan Art Gallery, becoming a striking visual centrepiece for the Where do I belong? exhibition.

This project is supported by the Queensland Government through the Queensland Arts Showcase Program and the Regional Arts Development Fund, a partnership between the Queensland Government and Logan City Council to support local arts and culture in regional Queensland.
