When Graffiti Makes Children's Rights Visible

The Freising City Library will transform into a vibrant exhibition space from September 8 to October 17, 2026. Under the title Creativity for Children's Rights, the Specialist Academy for Social Education presents numerous graffiti artworks created by aspiring educators in a workshop with the artist Oliver Skarvan on canvas.

Color as a Language of Participation

The exhibited works combine contemporary art, cultural education, and social engagement. Bright colors, distinctive shapes, and the expressive visual language of graffiti translate essential children's rights into immediately tangible motifs. Participation, equality of opportunity, and intercultural coexistence gain a visual presence that invites careful observation and conversation.

Aesthetic Experience Meets Educational Practice

The seminar focused on how children's rights are felt in the everyday lives of children and young people. The aspiring educators engaged intensively with these themes and then translated their insights into colorful compositions. Thus, an exhibition is created where artwork observation and educational reflection are directly connected.

Graffiti on Canvas: Between Street Art and Educational Work

The art form graffiti traditionally stands for public visibility, personal positioning, and appropriation of space. In the exhibition, this energetic visual language is translated into the institutional framework of the city library. The canvas becomes a projection surface for values, experiences, and demands. This way, street art aesthetics, painting, and social pedagogical educational work meet in an impressive way.

A Joint Project with Many Voices

The course Implementing Children's Rights Locally – Intercultural – Participatory – Interactive was initiated by the diploma social educator Meral Meindl. The leadership was taken over by the art educator Elfriede Schober-Schröger. The materials for the artwork were funded through the state initiative Green for Children and the Vocational School Center. This combination of art education, training, and social responsibility shapes the exhibition sustainably.

Art Experience in the City Library

The exhibition atmosphere emerges from the contrast between the calm character of the library and the visual energy of the graffiti works. Amidst books and shelves, the color-intensive canvases create a special spatial effect. The art experience is aimed at art-interested citizens as well as families, young people, educational professionals, and anyone interested in engaging with children's rights.

The exhibition Creativity for Children's Rights makes social issues visible and opens up an accessible entry point into contemporary art. Visitors can expect an inspiring connection of graffiti, cultural education, and democratic responsibility. Those who want to experience children's rights not just through reading, but in an aesthetic experience, should definitely visit this exhibition live at the Freising City Library.
