<p><strong>About our Podcast Series:</strong></p> <p>WHBLE founder, award-winning writer, director and applied theatre educator, Ah-Keisha McCans, hosts conversations with educators, school leaders, parents, and students to discuss the state of education, and systemic problems facing youth in schools.</p> <p>Education as Liberation Podcast season two’s theme is Time Capsule.

Is education on the path towards liberation or must a new system be built up?</p> <p><strong>About Our Guest</strong></p> <p>Brian McAndrews taught visual art at Creative Arts Morgan Village Academy (CAMVA), a performing arts middle and high school located in Camden, New Jersey, for over six years. At CAMVA, Brian taught drawing, painting, art history and digital media. During the summer, he facilitated 2D art for Rutgers Future Scholars, a Rutgers Camden campus program for similarly aged students.</p> <p>Brian spent time studying at University of the Arts (illustration) as well as numerous county colleges before finishing his painting degree at Rutgers Camden. It was there that he also received his teaching certificate for the state of New Jersey. As an artist, he has shown work at the Stedman Gallery, Student Works Gallery (Rutgers Camden), Mt Holly Arts, and the Nemours Children’s Hospital. His students’ work has been featured in many competitions and galleries, including the Woodmere Art Museum in Philadelphia.</p> <p>Brian’s passion for technology, as well as classical techniques, such as drawing, influenced his belief that any person, no matter their believed ability, can learn to create beautiful art!</p> <p>Sadly, in January of 2022, Brian passed away. He is remembered fondly by his students because of the great impact that he made on their lives as their art teacher and mentor.</p> <p>This episode is dedicated to the memory of Brian and to all who knew and loved him.</p> <p><strong>About WHBLE:</strong></p> <p>We make art.

The moniker SoSoon, an acronym for Sound Of Something Out Of Nothing, reflects the heart of Hip-Hop culture which was developed by people who lacked access to outlets for creative expression. SoSoon's music captures the diverse experiences of New York's working class who often play the background despite their significant contributions to “the city that never sleeps.”</p> <p>Instagram: @SoSoon</p> <p>Twitter: @SoSoonish</p> <p><strong>About WHBLE:</strong></p> <p>We make art.
