Between Collage, Canvas, and Lived Participation
The contemplation of the works leads directly into a multifaceted visual language: layers, color fields, and combined materials make visible how individual voices create a common resonance space. The combination of collage and painting gives the exhibition an open, lively atmosphere, where visitors can reflect on the relationship between I and We.

Marian Kretschmer and the Idea of Cultural Education
Marian Kretschmer is an artist born in Chemnitz, who predominantly works in painting, illustration, and graphic design, and has exhibited following his studies at the Academy of Fine Arts and Book Arts Leipzig. According to his own statements, his artistic practice focuses on engagement with humanity, awareness, and societal tensions. This background distinctly shapes the exhibition in Freising: art here is not merely decoration but a medium for dialogue and reflection.

A Place that Sharpens the Gaze
The Freising City Library provides a fitting framework for this art experience. Light-filled spaces, a public cultural venue, and a program with numerous annual events make the library a place where art appears accessible yet intellectually demanding. The workshops are complemented by works from Kretschmer's activities in schools in Tanzania and collaboration with Marafiki wa Afrika, thereby opening the exhibition to international perspectives.
