The Apple Machine

Hopkok Fabrik got funding from the Volt funding programme to carry The Apple Machine project in three Nordic countries. The project aims to introduce children to sustainable practices in food and design, focusing on apples as both an ingredient and a shared cultural symbol.

Approximately 90 children aged 11 to 13 participated in hands-on activities exploring the diversity of apple varieties, their cultural significance, and sustainable food and design practices through an engaging process. The project encompassed three main aspects: urban foraging, participatory building, and public events, with workshops in Norway, Sweden, and Denmark. During the project, children documented their explorations and inventions using a variety of playful tools and creative methods.

The Apple Machine was a collaboration between Hopkok Fabrik, Almost There, Tuve Fritidsgård, Ringön, Vegan Market Göteborg, Östergängen Kolonilott, Österängens Konsthall, Linderud Gård, Tonsenhagen Aks, Iværsætter Akademiet, and Grønt Marked.
