The Greatest Exhibition You'll Never See

Dialog in the Dark: The Greatest Exhibition You'll Never See

Taken from the website at http://www.dialogtickets.com:

"DIALOG IN THE DARK is an Exhibition in complete darkness where guides who are blind or visually impaired lead groups of 10 people through scenes from everyday life.

The experience itself lasts one hour but the effects last a lifetime."

More about the idea and concept from http://www.dialogue-in-the-dark.com/?page_id=9:

"A role reversal takes place: sighted people are torn out of social routines and familiar acceptance. Blind people provide a sense of orientation and mobility and become ambassadors of a culture devoid of images... Everybody shares an unforgettable experience. They feel their own limits, perceptions and gratitude for their eyesight; they come to understand the importance of empathy, communication and solidarity and develop respect for people who see the world through different eyes."

This exhibit started in Germany and is coming to the United States (Atlanta) for the first time this summer. You can find more info about the U.S. exhibit at http://www.dialogtickets.com
