Where Do I Belong? is a contemporary exhibition exploring the beauty, fragility, and future of Australia’s native birdlife. Bringing together local, Queensland, and nationally recognised artists, the exhibition celebrates the connection between art, nature, and community while encouraging reflection on environmental sustainability and conservation.
Through painting, photography, sculpture, installation, and new commissioned works, the exhibition invites visitors to consider their relationship with the natural world and imagine a future where Australia’s birds continue to thrive.
The exhibition features significant loaned works and contributions from leading Australian artists including Richard Lewer, Lucy Culliton, Del Kathryn Barton, Anna Louise Richardson, Michael Cook, Abdul-Rahman Abdullah, Ben Quilty, Leila Jeffreys, and Dead Puppet Society.
Alongside these nationally recognised artists, fifteen new commissions have been created by local artists, highlighting the depth of creative talent within the Logan region and beyond.
