Content note: this episode contains mention of family violence, incarceration, houselessness, and visceral descriptions of some memories. It's not described in detail but please go gently if these will affect you. 

Samantha Haran and Bipasha Roy chat to Gomeroi writer, curator and scholar Dr Amy Thunig. A rich chat on memoir as a politcal act amid erasure, dismantling white supremacy in academia, finding wisdom by attuning to ancestral practices.
