Roosters Trophies with History Each year several artisans are invited to reproduce, through their hands and clay, different ART&TUR Festival trophies, creating a perfect symbiosis between the figurative and audiovisual, preserving the authenticity of cultural identity and values with creativity and innovation. The figures of Barcelos were born as a way to use the rest of the clay and cooking pieces of pottery. Small pieces made by hands of the past, are now a cultural manifestation that come through generation to generation as heritage and identity of the people of Barcelos. The production of this art identity took its artisans to recreate reality and give wings to the emergence of an imaginary of such importance that in addition to portray their way of thinking, feeling, living and the evolution of a community, still represents the everyday each time. It was through this production that was created the best known symbol of Portugal - The Rooster of Barcelos. The Rooster of Barcelos holds the role of Barcelos ambassador, both on a national and international level, and also reveals a unique cultural and artistic identity. This identity strengthened in 2008 with the emergence of ART&TUR Festival to use these pieces as Trophies. The strong international nature of the Festival and the continuing involvement of government representatives from different countries, come to provide favorable conditions for the expansion of the arts and the Portuguese culture, either by trade, either by cultural means.
In 2012, a strategic partnership was celebrated with Paraguay, which essentially aims to strengthen cultural ties between the two countries. From that partnership, the ART&TUR organization decided to adopt of the most representative symbols of Guaraní culture, Picha’I Chicken, as a trophy to distinguish the best Latin American film, a prize that has remained ever since. In the town of Itá, Paraguay, a family of potters maintain traditional work with clay, which has been inherited from generation to generation. It was Mrs. Marciana Ark Rojas, who created the famous gallinas de la suerte (lucky chicken) from a miraculous vision of the Virgin of Caacupé. Later she baptized them as the lucky chickens: white for love and black for money. To make these lucky chickens, the craftsman kneads the clay and shapes a vase, shaving with rustic tools to form the picha’i chickens, then they are cooked in tatakuá (clay oven) and finally painted in black with white spots or white with black spots. Currently, Mrs. Marciana Arca Rojas is 86 years old, which along with her descendants (children, grandchildren and nephews) continue the tradition and art of modeling clay out to proceed the development of popular Paraguay ceramics, which had its origin in indigenous art.
