This collection of video works explores unique frameworks for presenting women's interviews. These include extended portraits of a single participant, portraits of women's groups, and the exploration of a theme by a large number of participants. Each of the videos may be projected into an exhibition environment or presented on a monitor with a DVD player. Some videos may be grouped together, but others must be presented separately, as described below.

A. Trappings: Pittsburgh
2005, run time: 1 hour 9 minutes

In 2005, the artists produced seven interview sessions in Pittsburgh. The women from those sessions were featured in a series of prints that were displayed on the Pittsburgh public bus system and a feature-length film that was screened at Pittsburgh Filmmakers. The bus cards are presented in the Project Ephemera section of the exhibition.

This video piece must be presented on its own monitor or as a singular projection. Audio for this piece may be projected into the space (where appropriate) or accompanied by headsets and seats for viewers.
