On Sunday, 16 June 2025, the iconic Dominicanen Bookshop opens its stage once again, this time for spoken word performers only. As part of the Heiligdomsvaart event, we are inviting students with a passion for poetry, rhythm, and storytelling to perform in one of the most atmospheric spaces in Maastricht.

✨ As a performer, you’ll get exclusive access to Maastricht University Library’s Special Collections, featuring rare books and historical texts connected to the theme of Heiligdomsvaart. Let centuries-old manuscripts, sacred stories, and powerful voices from the past inspire your own.

📅 Event Date: Sunday 16 June 2025
📍 Location: Dominicanen Bookshop, Maastricht
📚 Research access provided in the weeks before the event.
