Connecting Values: An Exhibition on Democracy, Community, and Artistic Responsibility
This fall 2026, an artistic experience unfolds at the Freising City Library that goes far beyond mere contemplation of the works. The exhibition Connecting Values – Art from I to We brings together collages, canvases, and artistic works created in value workshops with children, students, and adults. At the center is the question of how a shared 'we' can grow from individual perspectives.
From Idea to Picture Plane
The exhibition begins with a clear stance: democracy thrives on togetherness and active shaping. This tension shapes the works presented. Collage, painting, and artistic notation merge into a visual language that intertwines personal experiences, social questions, and cultural education. The works show how art not only creates aesthetic experiences but also opens spaces for dialogue.
Marian Kretschmer and the Pedagogical Power of Art
Under the direction of Marian Kretschmer, an artist and art therapist from Chemnitz, works were created that take the process as seriously as the outcome. Kretschmer has been freelancing since 2007 and works in the fields of painting, illustration, and graphic design. His visual language aims at awareness, empathy, and social reflection. In the exhibition, his works relate to the groups from the workshops and to works from his collaboration with the association Marafiki wa Afrika.
A Glance at Community and Responsibility
Particularly striking is the thematic openness of the exhibition. The artworks revolve around democratic values, responsibility, participation, and the question of how community can be visually conceived. The transition between personal forms of expression and collective reflection gives the presentation a high density. Visitors to the exhibition experience not a rigid tableau, but a lively thinking space between art, education, and social consciousness.
Exhibition Venue with Cultural Atmosphere
The Freising City Library provides the perfect setting for this. Its light-filled rooms, open cultural program, and central location make it a place where reading culture, art mediation, and urban public life converge. The exhibition can be visited during the library's opening hours, making it particularly suited for a spontaneous cultural appointment in Freising.
What Visitors Can Expect
Numerous collages and canvases will be on display, complemented by works from Marian Kretschmer’s projects in Tanzania. The exhibition connects artistic practice with cultural education and is aimed at everyone who wants to experience art as a social language. The result is an inspiring tour full of colors, materials, and thoughts about solidarity.
Conclusion: This exhibition invites visitors to experience art as a communal process. Anyone who wants to see how 'I' can become 'we' should definitely visit the Freising City Library during the exhibition period.
