When many voices create a shared image

The exhibition Connecting Values – Art from Me to Us in the City Library Freising makes democratic values visible. Collages and canvases from values workshops attended by children, students, and adults narrate stories of identity, respect, freedom, solidarity, and community.

From personal expression to shared we

Under the guidance of the artist and art therapist Marian Kretschmer, participants engaged with the question of how individual perspectives can find a common stance. The displayed works are not seen as rigid answers but as open spaces for thought and imagery. Each collage and each canvas retains its own artistic signature while also pointing to the connecting process of the group.

Collage, painting, and democratic values

The exhibition connects elements of painting and collage with cultural education. Colors, shapes, layering, and personal symbols translate abstract concepts into a sensually experienced visual language. In the examination of the works, it becomes clear how aesthetic experience can touch upon societal questions: What does freedom mean in everyday life? How does respect develop? And what values sustain a community?

Art between Freising and Tanzania

The workshop results are complemented by works from Marian Kretschmer created during his art educational work in schools in Tanzania. Since 2016, Kretschmer has been working within the framework of intercultural educational projects focused on encounter, community, and mutual respect. This presentation thus opens a dialogue between different cultural experiences and showcases art as a means of communication.

An artistic experience in public space

The City Library transforms into a low-threshold exhibition atmosphere where art, education, and social exchange come together. Between books and images, a space for concentrated work examination, personal reflection, and encounters is created. The visit is suitable for art enthusiasts, families, school classes, and anyone wishing to experience democratic values from a new perspective.

Conclusion: Democracy becomes visible

Connecting Values – Art from Me to Us invites an open artistic experience about community and responsibility. The exhibition demonstrates how individual images can create a shared visual dialogue. Those who want to experience cultural education, intercultural art, and socially engaged contemporary art up close should definitely visit the presentation at the City Library Freising.
