Connecting Values: An exhibition about community, democracy, and artistic responsibility
At the Freising City Library, Connecting Values – Art from Me to Us unfolds an artistic experience that impressively combines art reflection and cultural education. The exhibition showcases collages and canvases created in values workshops by children, students, and adults. Central to this is the question of how a common 'we' emerges from individual perspectives.
When democracy becomes a language of images
The works connect personal experiences with societal themes. Democratic values appear here not as abstract terms but as visible traces in color, material, and form. Collage, canvas, and gestural placement create a vibrant exhibition atmosphere where the power of togetherness is immediately palpable.
Marian Kretschmer as artistic impulse giver
Under the guidance of Marian Kretschmer, artist and art therapist, the series of works were created in a participatory process. Kretschmer is a freelance artist focusing on illustrations, graphics, and painting and has been working for many years in artistic-educational contexts. The results created in Freising are complemented by works from his activities in schools in Tanzania in collaboration with the organization Marafiki wa Afrika.
Between workshop and exhibition experience
Especially appealing is the connection between process and presentation. Visitors encounter not only finished artworks but also an idea of art as a space for dialogue. The spectrum ranges from collaboratively created collages to independent image solutions that reflect democratic values, cohesion, and cultural openness.
A place for exchange and aesthetic experience
The Freising City Library provides a fitting framework for this exhibition: light-filled spaces, an open audience, and a cultural environment that unites education and encounter. Thus, the visit becomes an aesthetic experience that goes beyond mere observation and encourages reflection on social responsibility.
Conclusion: Those seeking art with attitude, participatory projects, and an exhibition with a clear social reference will find here an inspiring reason to visit Freising. This exhibition invites you to not only think about democratic values but to see, feel, and take them away in the artistic experience.
