It was my honor to share the work we are doing at @pcah_gov with those gathered for the @g20org panel event on data collection, analysis & application. #ArtistsforUnderstanding offers an interesting example of what's possible when we counter hate through the arts & humanities!
Last week, PCAH Senior Advisor & Envoy for Cultural Exchange Carla Dirlikov Canales traveled to @g20org Brazil to participate in a panel dedicated to exploring how data collection, analysis & application can revolutionize the formulation & implementation of cultural policies.🧵
