Doel - a Village that Refused to Die
For over 40 years, Doel was marked for demolition to make way for the expanding Antwerp port. Despite this, the village has become a powerful symbol of resistance. After decades of fighting for its survival, it now seems that Doel might finally be saved.
This project isn’t just about a village fading away—it’s about the people who keep its spirit alive, even as the world around them changes.
