2017 will mark the 75th Anniversary of the Japanese submarine attack on Sydney Harbour in 1942.

To commemorate this event Mosman Art Gallery are working with a group of Australian and Japanese artists to develop an exhibition to be shown in mid 2017.

Participating artist, Sue Pedley, is calling out for donations of white pillowcases and memories of the event to help realise a new artwork.

Donated white pillowcases (including children’s) can be in any condition: off-white, stained, starched, patched, threadbare.

Where possible the artist requests that donors include a written note of either a living memory or passed on memory of the Japanese attack.

Please deliver laundered pillowcases to Mosman Art Gallery during opening hours in a bag (with your name clearly written if you wish to be acknowledged).

Pillowcases will be accepted from 1 May until 31 July 2016.
