Celebrating connection, creativity, and conservation

Where Do I Belong? was a vibrant celebration of art, nature and community, inviting audiences to imagine a future where Australia’s birdlife thrives.

Visitors experienced stunning artworks in the 10-week exhibition at Logan Art Gallery that explored the beauty and vulnerability of native birds while inspiring hope and action for a more sustainable world.

Audiences marvelled at The Birds of Australia STORYBOX digital cube, enjoyed free performances at the Up Late event on Thursday 16 July, and listened to experts and community members at the Art and Nature Symposium.

Bringing together Queensland and nationally based artists, environmental experts, First Nations voices, young people and disability advocates, this collaborative initiative demonstrated the power of creativity to unite and uplift. Through engaging content and inclusive activities designed especially for people aged 5 to 30, Where Do I Belong? was accessible to all and encouraged visitors to reflect, connect and contribute.

The exhibition was presented from Saturday 20 June to Saturday 29 August, with the Art and Nature Symposium held on Saturday 22 August 2026. The symposium served as a dynamic gathering to share ideas, celebrate community and promote positive environmental action.

Designed to inspire, the exhibition invited audiences to discover their place in the story and to help shape a future where every bird and every person belongs.
