Thread: Connecting stories and community is an exhibition developed collaboratively between the National Portrait Gallery and Logan-based artists and community. Featuring historical and contemporary portraits alongside new works created by local artists, the exhibition reflects Logan’s diverse cultural landscape and fosters deeper cross‑cultural understanding. The project is supported by the Australian Government and serves as a pilot for new community‑engaged approaches.
