Get Living commissioned a creative team of staff and students from London College of Communication, part of the University of the Arts London, to produce a standout artwork for the ITH Handover event.
Positioned on the wall that marks the start of the proposed Bakerloo Line extension, “Bakerloo to the Future” artwork takes visitors on an imaginative journey through the line’s ambitious and impactful future. By traversing key data points, the artwork creates a unique experience for passengers - blending traditional mural painting with digital projection, to honour the past while envisioning a more connected and prosperous future.
The artwork is a 72 square-metre hand-painted, eco-friendly mural on cotton fabric, brought to life through a vibrant digital animation projection. While the mural, depicting the iconic train carriage, remains as a permanent installation, the projection animates the carriage interior, using colourful graphics and data visualisations to communicate the extension’s broader social and economic benefits. Vivid hues breathe new life into the space, highlighting the connections to come and exciting possibilities ahead for passengers aboard Bakerloo to the Future.
