When a common We emerges from many voices

The exhibition Connecting Values – Art from I to We invites you to the City Library of Freising from October 8 to 17, 2026. On display are collages and canvases developed by children, students, and adults in values workshops led by the artist and art therapist Marian Kretschmer.

Democratic values become visible

Democracy appears in this exhibition not as a rigid construct, but as a living process of togetherness. The displayed works revolve around freedom, respect, responsibility, community, and active participation. Each collage and each canvas retains an individual signature while simultaneously opening up the question of how personal perspectives can come together to create a common We.

Painting and collage as forms of dialogue

The works connect personal image ideas with communal engagement. Color fields, cut-out shapes, and overlaid image signs make visible how individual impulses grow into a polyphonic visual connection. In the contemplation of the works, art reveals itself as a language that does not dissolve differences but leads them into a productive dialogue.

An international look towards Tanzania

The results of the values workshops are complemented by works of Marian Kretschmer, created in connection with his work in schools in Tanzania. His long-standing collaboration with the organization Marafiki wa Afrika connects artistic practice, cultural education, and intercultural encounters. As a result, the exhibition gains an international perspective, where art becomes a bridge between people and ways of life.

The City Library as an open cultural space

The light-flooded spaces of the City Library of Freising create an accessible exhibition atmosphere between reading culture, education, and encounters. The art experience is aimed at art-interested citizens, families, school classes, and anyone who wishes to explore societal issues through aesthetic experiences. Visits are possible during regular opening hours.

Conclusion: Art that makes community tangible

Connecting Values – Art from I to We promises an inspiring exhibition about democratic values, personal expressiveness, and communal creation. Those who want to experience how individual images create a shared resonance space should definitely visit this presentation live at the City Library of Freising.
