international graffiti symposium
disseminate | analyse | understand graffiti-scapes
14-16 June 2023
Vienna, Austria
intro
goINDIGO 2023 is the second international, hybrid graffiti symposium organised in the framework of project INDIGO
INDIGO aims to INventory & DIsseminate almost 13 km of uninterrupted Graffiti along Vienna’s dOnaukanal (Eng. Danube Canal) to digitally preserve and analyse this unique socio-cultural heritage
last year’s goINDIGO 2022 focused on all technical, logistic, legal & ethical aspects of documenting, archiving & disseminating graffiti
goINDIGO 2023 will discuss the (collaborative) creation of archives to digitally disseminate records of ancient and contemporary graffiti, and how this can facilitate various qualitative and quantitative analyses that might yield increased graffiti-scape understanding

highlights
on the first day, 1.5 years of graffiti photos will be projected on the location they were recorded, showing the evolution of the graffiti-scape in-situ
drinks, food, and music make this an ideal symposium ice-breaker, while the academic and local creator communities can meet as well
curated online collections of graffiti records can open up new pathways to analysing graffiti-scapes
this discussion session aims to accumulate essential insights and feedback on a few key topics, related to:
1. the need for (inter)national collaboration
2. ensuring spatial & temporal contextualisation
3. potential ethical issues
4. what graffitists think about analysing their work
on Friday afternoon, there is the possibility to learn the basics of graffiti spraying with Stefan Wogrin from SprayCity
participation fee is € 50, which includes the spray paint and protective clothing
this event will only take place from 5 registrations, which means that payment will happen in cash and in-situ
