website | newsletter | protocols

From the start of the project, INDIGO had this project website online. The website contains all relevant project info (which gets regularly updated and expanded) and features a blog section.
Every two weeks, INDIGO has published a newsletter. These newsletters – which can all be found here – always feature 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, all INDIGO’s 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. In one year, almost 400 people active in the graffiti scene started to follow INDIGO’s Instagram. After trying out different strategies, INDIGO has now settled for three types of contributions:
- Every second Monday, the Newsletter is posted.
- Each Wednesday is Gallery Wednesday; new graffiti creations from the Donaukanal are shared.
- Every second Friday is Flashback Friday: either relevant historic facts on graffiti are 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) is shortly described
The Twitter account of project INDIGO is less active, which explains why there are only 85 followers as of September 2022. Twitter was mainly used to advertise all the talks of the goINDIGO 2022 symposium.
