AHMEDABAD: An exhibition called 'Seeing in the Dark' will be inaugurated at the Blind People's Association (BPA) on Friday. Here the visitors can experience pitch-black environs where they encounter day-to-day objects and situations and try to navigate.
It would be second such setup in India after Hyderabad's 'Dialogue in the Dark' built nearly 25 years back. At the moment, the exhibit would start with two situations- theatre and restaurant. The facility has been constructed in the basement of building No 8 in BPA premises.
Bhushan Punani, executive secretary of BPA, said that the concept is to put the visitors in the blind people's shoes for a while. "The uniqueness of the project is that we've employed the blind in the exhibits who would assist the normal ones to navigate with the help of railings and guiding ropes,'' he said.
