These 2022 Adi Medals are created in the fishing village of A Guarda. Each piece, created by ceramist Leandro Alonso, represents the magic of craft work, and the emotion of objects which contain a story.
Following the traditional Adi hexagonal shape, they incorporate glass waste returned from the sea, combined onto the ceramic pieces to create color.
The redeiras of A Guarda, women net makers in charge of making fishing nets, are incorporated into the process. With their knowledge and tools, they weave around each piece a traditional fishing knot, symbolizing the importance of collaborative work between women.
Finally, each piece is contained in a custom-made wooden box, which permits the transportation and exhibition of the awards.
