Dialogue in the Dark

Founded by German journalist and social entrepreneur Andreas Heinecke 25 years ago, the exhibition has travelled across 30 countries and 130 cities worldwide. In Malaysia, founder and president of the Malaysia Glaucoma Society Stevens Chan started the ‘Dialogue in the Dark’ movement in November 2012 to allow sighted participants to experience visual impairment. This exhibition, more a form of participatory exercise than a presentation, puts participants through 45 minutes of moving around a constructed room in absolute darkness.
