Bricknic

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. Inspired by the ageold process of brick firing in East Africa, this collaborative project aims to put social interaction back on the menu and celebrate community spirit. 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! Let‘s build and eat!
