Barokke Influencers changes our view of the future.

The baroque embodied the meeting between tradition and modernity. The Jesuits helped to shape that process thanks to their religious conviction and social commitment.

Barokke Influencers examines how international and far-reaching that development was, how it continued into the twentieth century, and what the legacy of the baroque means today in our super-diverse society.

Experience the stunning exhibitions, breathtaking music concerts and many other captivating events of the city festival.
