Prosperdorp
An auditory search for prosperity and happiness in Prosperdorp, a small village on the Belgian–Dutch border. While the name Prosper evokes abundance and well-being, the reality tells a different story. As part of the expansion of the Port of Antwerp, land is being flooded and farms dismantled — raising the question of what prosperity truly means in a place marked by loss and transformation.
