This Is Our Story

An important aspect of Lin Onus: The Land Within has been contextualising Lin’s practice within the rich network of family, artistic and political spheres in which he worked, that he was inspired by and that he contributed to.  

Yorta Yorta and Woiwurrung artist and curator Moorina Bonini was commissioned by SAM to record interviews, which form the start of the ‘This is Our Story’ project – a growing archive of recorded stories and memories that SAM is gathering about Lin’s life. 

Here, we present excerpts from interviews with Aboriginal artists, activists, communities and family that Lin worked with and amongst: Neville Atkinson, Gary Foley, Margo Neale, Tiriki Onus, Aunty Alma Thorpe and Lyn Thorpe.
