When the I becomes a shared We
The exhibition Values Connect – Art from I to We transforms the Freising City Library into an open space for art, democracy, and cultural education. Children, students, and adults have engaged in values workshops under the guidance of artist and art therapist Marian Kretschmer, exploring how individual perspectives can converge into a common societal image.
Collages and canvases as visible think spaces
At the center are numerous collages and canvases that have emerged from artistic engagement with democratic values and community. Each work retains its own handwriting, while the overall view creates a polyphonic resonance space. Colors, shapes, layers, and materials translate questions about respect, responsibility, solidarity, and active participation into an immediate visual language.
Art as a process of encounter
The exhibition connects contemporary art with cultural education and social learning. Art is not presented here as an isolated object, but as a process: In the examination of the works, it becomes apparent how common questions emerge from personal experiences. This combination of painting, collage, and participatory art practice creates a vibrant exhibition atmosphere where aesthetic experience and societal reflection intertwine.
An international perspective from Tanzania
The workshop results are complemented by works from Marian Kretschmer created during his work at schools in Tanzania. His long-term collaboration with the Marafiki wa Afrika association expands the local exhibition context with an international perspective. The works demonstrate how art can bridge different living worlds and stimulate cultural exchange.
The city library as an open cultural space
In the heart of Freising’s old town, the city library offers an accessible framework between reading culture, education, and public exchange. The exhibition can be seen during regular opening hours. Especially on Friday, October 2, 2026, the extended opening until 8:30 PM as part of the Long Night of Democracy invites a special visit.
Conclusion: Experiencing democratic values sensually
Values Connect – Art from I to We promises a touching and educational art experience. The exhibition shows how a common image can arise from many individual voices. Anyone wishing to experience art as a vibrant form of conversation, participation, and aesthetic experience should definitely visit this presentation at the Freising City Library live.
