content: Included are 105 sound cassette tapes and two VHS videocassette tapes containing interviews conducted by Swift, radio programs, and panel discussions. Most of the interviews are with artists living and working in the Washington, D.C. area. Discussion topics center on artists' work, art exhibitions, public art, events and the art scene in the area. Some interviews were conducted in New York City with artists who have moved there from Washington, D.C., and discussion topic is comparison between the two cities. Several recordings demonstrate Swift's low level of trust for her recording equipment.
