Made of Walking Returns to Belgium
After travelling around the globe, Made of Walking returns to Belgium, in Prosperpolder. Belgium provides a fitting place for this return. Situated at the crossroads of Europe, Prosperpolder embodies many of the questions that Made of Walking has explored over the past decade: borders and flows, ecology and industry, heritage and transformation, local communities and planetary processes. It is a landscape where the future of walking arts emerges through encounters between people, places and more-than-human worlds.
