Bricknic

WHAT Hollow clay bricks that can be filled with raw ingredients and stacked together to make a temporary outdoor oven. The bricks build social ties through a shared cooking and eating experience. WHY Inspired by the age-old process of brick firing in East Africa, this collaborative project aims to put social interaction back on the menu and celebrates community spirit. HOW At a Bricknic event, each participant is provided with a brick to fill with the ingredients of their choice. Everyone then gets together to discuss the plan, build the oven, light up a fire and cook the food inside the bricks. Afterwards, the oven is taken apart and it’s time to eat!
