Values that become visible: Art from Me to We at the Freising City Library
This autumn 2026, an exhibition unfolds at the Freising City Library that impressively combines art and social education. Under the title Connecting Values – Art from Me to We, children, students, and adults present collages and canvases created in values workshops led by Marian Kretschmer.
When Democracy Becomes an Image
The exhibition takes seriously a thought that has particular resonance in our present: Democracy thrives on togetherness and active participation. The works displayed translate this idea into color, form, and composition. Each collage sets its own accents, and each canvas carries an individual signature. Together, they create a multi-voiced artistic experience that makes community tangible rather than abstract.
Between Individual and Community
Particularly intriguing is the artistic question of the path from me to we. The works revolve around responsibility, solidarity, and shifting perspectives. The strength of this project lies in the connection between artistic practice and cultural education: The exhibition showcases not only results but also processes. It becomes evident how art can serve as a tool for reflection without losing its aesthetic power.
Marian Kretschmer and the Educational Dimension
Marian Kretschmer has been working as an artist and art therapist for many years. His practice combines art observation, social learning, and artistic experience. The results from Freising are complemented by works from his activities at schools in Tanzania in collaboration with the Marafiki wa Afrika association. This opens the gaze beyond the local horizon and anchors the exhibition in an international, culturally responsible context.
Space for Quiet Reflection
The Freising City Library provides an appropriate framework: well-lit rooms, an open atmosphere, and a place for learning, reading, and exchanging ideas. The exhibition invites visitors to take their time, discover details, and consciously perceive the relationship between material, message, and spatial effect. It is here that the aesthetic experience occurs, making art communication sustainable.
Conclusion
Connecting Values – Art from Me to We promises an intelligent, touching, and socially relevant exhibition that appeals to art enthusiasts as well as families, school classes, and all who appreciate cultural education. Those who want to experience how many individual voices create a collective image should definitely visit this exhibition live at the Freising City Library.
