Episode Synopsis

Juan Perez is a man of many titles.
You could classify him as a former chef at Fenway Park, an instructor of fine arts, an immigrant, a painter, or figure drawing professional, but that would only scratch the surface of who Juan is. His current role is artist-in-residence at the Fenway CDC's Newcastle Studio — a position that has also earned him the title of de facto community leader of his city block.
Reporter Hannah Sammut sits down with Juan to discuss his unique approach to life and how his passion for bringing the neighborhood together has made an impact on his corner of Boston’s South End.
This episode was produced by Hannah Sammut and edited by Rebeca Pereira.
