National Culture Award at the Gran Teatro Nacional

The National Culture Award (PNC) 2018, the most important award granted by the State to the management and cultural development of people and institutions in favor of society, will be presented next Tuesday, November 20, at 11:30 a.m. in a ceremony to be held at the Gran Teatro Nacional.

The event, which will include the participation of the President of PETROPERU, James Atkins Lerggios and the head of the Culture Ministry, Patricia Balbuena Palacios, will recognize the work of Luis Ángel Humberto Rodríguez Pastor, winner of the PNC 2018 in the Career category. It should be noted that a large part of the studies carried out by him are oriented towards the origins of Chinese and Japanese immigration in the country, publishing works such as "Los trabajadores chinos culíes en el Perú" and research such as "De tamales y tamaleros: tres historias de vida" and "El ají peruano en  sus regiones y pueblos", among others.

On the other hand, Professor Juan Cadillo Leon, educator and psychologist from Ancash, is the winner in the Creativity category, an award that was granted for his creative capacity revealed in the improvement of the teaching process.

Meanwhile, the La Gran Marcha de los Muñecones Cultural Center is the winner in the Good Institutional Practices category. This group of urban theater is dedicated to training, experimentation and theatrical production for open spaces, vindicating the history and identity of the community where they live.

The PNC is the most important contest organized by the Ministry of Culture and that PETROPERU sponsors for the seventh consecutive year, reaffirming its permanent commitment to the cultural promotion of the country.
