Robin Scott Oral History

Robin discusses growing up in the Upper East Side of New York, how her neighborhood has evolved over time, and her favorite areas in the city. She recalls mental issues preventing her from attending classes in high school and college troubles which led her to go into art. She reflects on the significance of her tarot deck as well as her journey as an artist. Elaborating on her understanding of gender and feeling of being seen she discusses gender euphoria, being an exhibitionist, and her thoughts on and involvement in the trans community.
