“What is the Neighbourhood’s DNA?”
What makes an area special?
Is it the place? Is it its history? Is it the people? Or its sense of purpose?
What makes White City feel like White City?
Through a range of different workshops connecting local people to staff, students and researchers from Imperial who live or work on the White City Campus, artists AYLO and SECA (aka Hayley and Christian) need your help to capture the essence of White City for a new mural at Stadium House.
Your ideas will help to shape this new unique, distinctive, and place-based artwork capturing the DNA of the new White City Campus and the local area.

Public art on White City Campus
The Stadium House Mural is a pilot public art project for White City Campus.
We have a long-term ambition to incorporate public art in the development of White City Campus. We hope that original, thought-provoking, creative artworks in our public spaces will enhance the day-to-day experience of those working, living and visiting White City Campus.
This pilot project is an opportunity to work with the community, from within Imperial and across the local area, to test and learn about how we can work together to create inspiring, considered public art which is responsive to its context.
As the Stadium House Mural project develops, we will keep the local and Imperial community informed of its progress.
About the artists
AYLO and SECA are a muralist duo with 30 years of experience creating socially engaged public artworks that connect communities, honour local heritage and address global issues through the power of art. They have created work with communities from Mexico to Morocco; Leeds to Lightpool.
Their approach combines large scale productions with accessible community engagement to ensure that what they leave behind is not just paint on a wall but a shared landmark rooted in its community.
