ART IS

Jinho gives us more insight on what policing was like as an artist plus shares his experience with his band Flypside. He also reflects on self expression in two different worlds: as an officer and an artist. He believes art is what gave him the mental stamina to get through times of tremendous pressure.

Listen to part 1 of our conversation with Jinho Ferreira, rapper, actor, and writer. He has an interesting story to tell about a time in his life when he put music on hold to become a police officer. You’ll hear how art sustained him and helped him birth an incredible one man show from his experiences as an officer.

We interview Dawn Ferreira, PHd about how art enriches our education system. She is head of the Black Studies Department at Berkeley High which includes a dance program of the African Diaspora.

Small businesses, entrepreneurs, and large corporations are using art to boost employee morale, and productivity, and to show clients what they represent. We talk with a corporate employee, Jaime Moore, to hear his perspective on art in the workplace.
