Chila Kumari Singh Burman is an internationally acclaimed artist renowned for her vibrant, multi-disciplinary works. Her style is characterised by its bold use of colour and intricate patterns, exploring the intersections of personal and collective histories, as well as issues of visibility and representation.

“My turtle has been inspired by graffiti and is a celebration of bindis and the turtles found in stepwells in Jodhpur.”

About the Tusk Turtle Trail

The Tusk Turtle Trail is a vibrant public art exhibition highlighting the urgent need to protect our oceans and endangered sea turtles.

From July to September 2025, a flotilla of artist-designed turtle sculptures will appear across central London — each one a unique celebration of marine life and a call to action for conservation. You can follow the trail with our online map or download a printable map.

At the end of the trail, the turtles will be auctioned to raise vital funds for Tusk’s work protecting marine wildlife and ecosystems.
