PCR has “started [New Orleans Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness (NOHSEP)] on a long-term path of embedding arts and cultural practices in [their] strategic planning and opened channels with valuable groups not typically included in [their] planning and project activities”
PCR enabled NOHSEP to recognise that the “art/culture community and practices represent a central part of the identity of the city and, as such, should be appropriately represented in critical planning and policy development efforts… In recognition of their efforts, NOHSEP presented [PCR] with the agency’s challenge coin … to acknowledge [their] special achievements”
