Congratulations from the Humanities Research Network to Aram Hur, Yongjune Park and the team at INDIGO on their launch.

Press Release

INDIGO, a global humanities magazine for young people, published quarterly, offers a shared space of conversation. INDIGO provides articles, interviews, reviews, arts, poems, and more by international contributors to capture the imagination and creativity, and to re‑discover human possibilities for connection and community.

INDIGO is being sent out into the world like a message in a bottle, or an invitation set aloft under a helium balloon and it calls out to the world: this is what we are up to, and we hope that you may want to join us. We hope to make friends. The conversation that we seeks to foster is about purpose and hope. How are we to live in a world of injustice and pain? What are the responsibilities of those who are well to those who
suffer? What kind of world do we want? How can we find spiritual sustenance in literature, music and other arts? How does one come up with visions that can capture the imagination of other people? What sort of people do we want to be, and how might we take care of one another?

We strongly believe that this inspirational vision for a global humanities magazine is the beginning of the new journey for young people around the world. The future course of our world is being fought out in the arenas of global public opinion. We will try to bring together the creativity of many people, to gather wisdom and eloquence in literature and the humanities, and to use that wisdom in debates about society’s future, and to engage young people in thinking creatively about a shared vision for the future.
