Open Mic Poetry with Amena Brown @ Urban Grind
Dialog In The Dark @ Atlantic Station
The idea is simple: In completely darkened rooms blind people lead small groups of guests through an exhibition in which everyday situations are experienced altogether differently, without eyesight.
A role reversal takes place: sighted people are torn out of social routines and familiar acceptance. Blind people provide a sense of orientation and mobility and become ambassadors of a culture devoid of images. They prove that being blind is a different, interesting way to perceive and lead life and has nothing to do with thoughts of suicide and despair. Everybody shares an unforgettable experience. They feel their own limits, perceptions and gratitude for their eyesight; they come to understand the importance of empathy, communication and solidarity and develop respect for people who see the world through different eyes.
Sweet Auburn Festival May 8-10, 2009
The Sweet Auburn Festival is a celebration of 25 years of great festivals on Auburn Avenue. In 1984, civil rights icon, Hosea Willams produced the first festival in an effort to bring people back to Auburn Avenue. The name “Sweet Auburn” was coined by John Wesley Dobbs, referring to the “richest Negro street in the world.”

What Type of Purse Is That?
Hey fellas show your lady your mojo and take her to the Museum of Design. The exhibition will run through May 2, 2009, and will explore the origin, evolution and design of the handbag. Best thing about this date is its only $5 per person. Don’t hate me if she wants to head over to Phipps Plaza afterwards….
