Dialogue in The Dark
An exhibition to discover the unseen
"Only with the heart can one see right." Antoine de Saint Exupéry, The Little Prince.
A sensory experience for those who've already seen it all.
Get to know the world and other people without the benefit of your sense of sight. Swap roles with your sight impaired guide – and discover your other, dormant senses. Hearing, touch, smell and taste – when sight no longer dominates your senses, how do you perceive your environment? You'll find your daily routines seem utterly different in the pitch-dark exhibition. Under the care of your sight impaired guide, a walk in the park, the noisy city and a boating excursion become real adventures. At the end of the tour, you'll reach a café where you'll be served by blind waiters. There, you can discuss your experiences with others. Dialogue in the Dark is based on social creativity. It sets the stage for real and meaningful human interaction. Dialogue in the Dark is not an exhibition about blindness; rather, it's about human non-visual awareness. Dialogue in the Dark challenges our prejudices.
Dialogue in The Dark is an exhibition which tries to take as its starting point the non-visual perceptions of blind people in order to discover the unseen within and all around us.
This certainly is not an ordinary exhibition. It rather is a platform for communication and a close exchange between different cultures, provoking a change in perspectives so that we can experience the new.
This exhibition was produced by Mr. Andreas Heinecke.

Sunday to Friday 09:00 – 13:00

Saturday 10:00- 13:00

we didn't have time to go to this in Israel, it would have been pretty cool to experience. They also had a program for deaf.
