website | newsletter | protocols

From the start of the project, INDIGO shared all relevant information via this regularly updated project website. The latest news can be found in the blog section.
INDIGO published a bi-weekly newsletter in the first 16 project months. These newsletters – which can be found here – always featured the same three hyperlinked sections:
- A short mention of all upcoming meetings.
- A photograph of graffiti recently created along the Donaukanal. Clicking on this image brings up a map with its location.
- A short description and link to the protocol of past meetings. In that way, the INDIGO meeting protocols are freely accessible to anybody.

social media

Project INDIGO has an active Instagram account, because it is one of the main platforms over which the necessary engagement with graffiti creators takes place. After the first project year, almost 400 people active in the graffiti scene followed INDIGO via Instagram. This engagement was made possible via four types of contributions:
- Every second Monday, the Newsletter was posted.
- Each Wednesday was Gallery Wednesday; new graffiti creations from the Donaukanal were shared.
- Every second Friday is Flashback Friday: either relevant historical facts on graffiti were shared or a photo composition that compares a 2002-2005 versus a 2022 photo from the Donaukanal.
- Every Sunday is Literature Sunday, in which literature on graffiti (usually a book) was shortly described

Since INDIGO reached a substantial engagement after project year one, the PI decided to devote less time to Instagram and only continue the Gallery Wednesday posts. Sporadically, other content – like an advertisement for the goINDIGO symposia – was posted. At the end of project year two, INDIGO had circa 500 followers.

The Twitter account of INDIGO is less active, which explains why there are only circa 140 followers as of September 2023. Twitter was mainly used to advertise all the talks of the goINDIGO 2022 and 2023 symposia.
