Photographs that sharpen the perspective on wealth and poverty
The photo exhibition What makes us rich*poor? brings a highly relevant topic right into the everyday life of vhs Freising: How do social differences arise, what does wealth mean beyond money, and what images of justice shape our thinking? The poster exhibition displays current series and photo reports from the LAGOIS photo competition 2025 and is accessible as an exhibition in the windows of the building.

An exhibition without barriers
The presentation is intentionally designed to be public: It appears in the windows of vhs Freising and accompanies passersby on their way to classes, to the parking lot, or through everyday life. This open form gives the art experience a special exhibition atmosphere because the contemplation of the works does not end in a closed room but incorporates the urban space. According to the event information, the exhibition remains accessible without opening hours and without barriers.

Photography as a social question
At the center are six photo reports that explore the tension between wealth and poverty. The thematic framework of the LAGOIS photo competition 2025 not only questions material inequality but also personal, cultural, and societal wealth. This results in an exhibition that takes photography seriously as a medium of enlightenment and aesthetic experience.

Education, context, and public relevance
vhs Freising anchors the exhibition in its art and cultural program as well as in the area of local education. This connects the exhibition with a clear museum educational claim: not only to show art but to initiate debates about participation, social justice, and responsibility. vhs describes itself as a place of education with a wide cultural offering and regular office hours at Kammergasse 12.

Conclusion
