Imagine standing in nothing but darkness
surrounding you, the lights are off and it is pitch black. These are
conditions that the visually impaired go through every day. However,
this does not stop them from improving themselves as the days go by.
This is proven by founder of Dialogue in The Dark (DiD) Malaysia,
Stevens Chan Kum Fai, who suffered from Glaucoma and lost his visual
sense of the world. The story does not end there, he was determined to
bridge the gap between the visually impaired and the sighted public;
hoping the latter would further appreciate the importance of sight.
Dialogue in the Dark’s main purpose is
to project awareness that there are no differences between “us” and
“them”. Therefore, Dialogue in the Dark has come up with a few concepts
that will allow the public to experience a 45 minute journey through
Mount Kinabalu, Petaling Street and Port Dickson without their sense of
sight. Visitors will then be welcomed to a dining experience in complete
darkness known as Cuisine in the Dark, assisted by the guides of
Dialogue in the Dark. Imagine dining without the aid of your sight, you
won’t be able to see it; however the food will be extra flavoursome when
your other senses are heightened!
Nuffnang Malaysia in collaboration with
Dialogue in the Dark Malaysia will be giving ten(10) Nuffnangers a
chance to feel what it is like to walk and dine without lights.
Venue: Dialogue in the Dark, The School Jaya One
Date: 17th October 2014 (Friday)
Time: 5.30PM – 8.00PM
