Dialog in the Dark
Atlantic Station, 265 18th Street
9 a.m. to 8 p.m. daily (last ticket sold at 7 p.m.)
$24; $20 ages 65 and older and military personnel; $16 ages 11 and younger

Ever wonder what it's like to live life without sight? Dialog in the Dark is a traveling exhibit that allows full-sighted people to experience everyday life without seeing a thing. Visitors are led by blind or visually impaired guides through a specially constructed and totally darkened exhibition in which sounds, wind, temperatures, and textures covey the characteristics of common daily environments such as a park or cityscape. In the dark, these environments take on a whole new dimension. Visitors must rely on the guides for security and orientation in this world without pictures. Relying also on their other senses, visitors learn to “see” in an entirely new way. Their experience leads to reflection: social borders are reduced and ignorance gets changed into openness and respect.
