Dialogue in the Dark – An exhibition and workshop to discover the unseen
A group of 16 volunteers visited Dialogue in the Dark exhibition- a walk through a completely dark room, led by blind guides in groups of 8 to experience a day in the life of a blind person.
After a 1 hour journey into the darkness – crossing bridges, roads, taking a boat ride, going to market area – everyone in the group felt extremely gifted and highly grateful of their ability to see. They also felt more empathetic towards the blind and learned the most valuable lesson that's it’s not our ability but the environment that's disables us, just like the sighted people in a dark room felt completely disabled.
