When a common We emerges from many perspectives

The exhibition Connecting Values – Art from I to We transforms the Freising City Library into an open space for art, democracy, and cultural education. Children, students, and adults present collages and canvases created in value workshops led by the artist and art therapist Marian Kretschmer.

Democratic values become visible

The displayed works translate freedom, responsibility, respect, community, and active participation into color, form, and composition. Each collage and each canvas preserves a personal touch and simultaneously points to the binding power of the shared artistic process.

From I to We

At the center is the question of how individual perspectives can find a common stance. Layers, color fields, breaks, and personal symbols open up spaces for open thinking and imagery. The examination of the works makes it tangible how art touches societal issues and conveys cultural education sensually.

Collage, painting, and international perspectives

The results of the workshops are complemented by works by Marian Kretschmer, created during his work in schools in Tanzania. His long-standing collaboration with the association Marafiki wa Afrika expands the exhibition into an intercultural experiential space. Art here appears as a medium of encounter and understanding.

The city library as a cultural venue

With its combination of reading culture, education, and exchange, the Freising City Library offers a fitting framework. The quiet exhibition atmosphere invites focused contemplation of the works. Visitors experience art amid books, public discussions, and societal reflection.
