A ground–breaking exhibition examining the experience of donor conception in Australia is calling for contributions and participation from sperm and egg donors, donor conceived people and families touched by donor conception. The exhibition will present their life experiences in art, photographs and music.  A collection of archival material and memorabilia will also portray the way assisted reproduction was conducted in a time of social anonymity.
