Driessen uses art to tell socially relevant stories. She believes in the radical imagination of creators and facilitate their ability to ignite others to realise ecological democracy: the basic collective understanding that we are interdependent. As human beings, we flourish when our environment flourishes. Our human and non-human environment.
