Dialogue
in
the
Dark
is
a
social
franchise
product
of
Dialogue
Social
Enterprise
GmbH
(DSE),
alongside
Dialogue
in
Silence
and
Dialogue
with
Time,
and
was
originally
conceived
by
Andreas
Heinecke.
With
the
aim
of
bringing
sighted
people
closer
to
the
everyday
lives
of
people
with
blindness
and
enabling
an
eye-to-eye
encounter,
the
exhibition
has
been
shown
in
over
30
countries
and
more
than
130
cities
since
its
inception
in
1988
and
has
already
reached
more
than
9
million
visitors.
The
exhibitions
have
also
created
some
9,000
job
opportunities
for
blind
and
visually
impaired
people.
Blind
people
guide
groups
of
visitors
through
the
completely
darkened
exhibition.
Here
they
experience
recreated
everyday
situations,
such
as
a
park,
a
cityscape
or
a
bar,
with
scents,
wind,
temperatures,
sounds
and
textures.
The
concept
includes
a
role
reversal
in
which
blind
people
provide
orientation
for
the
visitors
and
they
are
taken
out
of
their
usual
perception
routines.
