Benjamin Juarez | Centro de Estudios Mexicanos UNAM Boston

It is always a joy to connect with my dear friend and mentor, Benjamin Juarez, the current Director of the Center for Mexican Studies of Mexico’s National Autonomous University (UNAM). When Benjamin served as dean of the BU College of Fine Arts, he shared his vision for the Citizen Artist. He dedicated resources to build an arts leadership program, providing skills for artists to shape culture, engage with the community and become change makers. What a delight to spend a fall afternoon together at Tatte on Beacon Street talking about music, travel and the healing, transformative power of the arts!
