With support from Arts Council England’s Developing Your Creative Practice (DYCP) fund, Assunta Ruocco was able to deliver a workshop at Stryx Gallery in Birmingham in collaboration with her nine-year-old daughter, Lou. As part of their ongoing project Assunta and Lou’s After School Art Club, the workshop provided an opportunity to test new materials, refine their co-facilitation methods, and engage with families and artist-parents in a new setting. This session formed part of Ruocco’s broader research into accessible, intergenerational forms of making, and contributed to the development of future participatory installations and collaborative exhibitions.
