Kim Williams & Lucas Ihlein

The Turdis, 2026,

Artists Kim Williams and Lucas Ihlein collaborate on socially engaged art and environmental projects. Community engagement and participation are central to their work, which fosters an appreciation of systems through research, consultation, design, making, and participatory events. The duo have led large-scale multi-disciplinary collaborations, bridging industry and community stakeholders to tackle complex environmental problems. Recent projects have explored regenerative agriculture in the canefields of Queensland, environmental practices in arts organisations, and urban waterways. Williams and Ihlein use whatever tricks they have in their artistic toolkit to create fun, engaging participatory experiences for audiences.

Artists Lucas Ihlein and Kim Williams use their hot‑pink composting toilet, The Turdis, to spark public engagement with humanure and environmental care.
