When a common image emerges from many voices

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 artist and art therapist Marian Kretschmer.

Democratic values become visible

Democracy appears in this presentation not as a rigid political concept but as a dynamic process of collaboration and active design. Participants have artistically engaged with community, responsibility, respect, and the question of how individual perspectives can find a collective we.

Collage and painting as a multi-voiced visual language

In the collages and on the canvases, color, shape, layering, and material combine to form an open visual language. Each work retains its personal signature while also entering into dialogue with the works of others. The viewing of the pieces makes it tangible how diversity can become the starting point for cohesion.

Marian Kretschmer between art and cultural education

Marian Kretschmer works as an artist and art therapist. His practice combines artistic processes, social reflection, and cultural education. The exhibition shows art not only as a finished object but also as a result of collective engagement and as a way to sensually explore societal questions.

An international perspective from Tanzania

The workshop results are complemented by works from Marian Kretschmer that were created during his work in schools in Tanzania. His long-standing collaboration with the association Marafiki wa Afrika expands the local exhibition context to an international perspective. Art thus appears as a bridge between different life worlds and as an expression of human connection.

The City Library as an open cultural space

The Freising City Library provides a fitting framework for this presentation with its spaces. Between books, images, and encounters, a calm exhibition atmosphere emerges, where aesthetic experience and social reflection intertwine. Visitors can view the exhibition during regular opening hours.

Conclusion: Art as an invitation to think together

Connecting Values – Art from I to We promises a touching and education-oriented art experience. Visitors can expect an exhibition in which personal expressiveness, democratic responsibility, and cultural diversity come together. Anyone who wants to experience how many individual voices can create a common resonance space should definitely visit this presentation live at the Freising City Library.
