Dialogue in the Dark

       My friends who are studying in department of Occupational Therapy, recommend me a exhibition which is "Dialogue in the Dark". The exhibition consists of a series of rooms in complete darkness. The visitors, in groups of up to 10 people, get a short briefing and are introduced to the use of a long cane before embarking on the journey through darkness. Escorted by the guide, they spend 60 to 90 minutes (depending on the size of the exhibition) exploring darkened galleries: a public park, a bustling city street, a food market, a boat, a café,etc.








It is very popular in other countries and it is active in İstanbul now. Visitor's feedbacks are very imressive and all of visitors advice peole to participate this exhibition. I will definitely go there and experience it. It is under the Gayrettepe Subway Station. In this exhibition, visitors try to get on and get off the bus without sight. They also visit İstiklal Street with walking stick.Imagine, you cannot see anything and there are many people, noise and danger. It sounds horrible, but thanks to this exhibition, we can understand sightless people and feel like them. I think it is very interesting and great experience. If you want to participate this exhibition, you should buy a ticket from there or Biletix. There is particular time, you should look at on the Internet before go there.
