What is FLARE?

FLARE is a cultural platform bringing art, lived experience, education, and advocacy into conversation around endometriosis. It is a space for artists, writers, and individuals living with chronic illness to express, document, and reinterpret what is so often left unseen.

Chronic illness informs perception, identity, and lived experience in ways that go unacknowledged in conventional discourse. Rather than framing this only through a clinical lens, FLARE positions it within creative and cultural space — where it can be explored, witnessed, and translated into form.

Illuminating Endometriosis

Endometriosis affects millions of people worldwide, yet the experience of living with it remains profoundly misunderstood. Illuminating Endometriosis brings that experience into a room where it can be seen rather than explained — through contemporary art, performance, conversation, and the people who have lived it.

Over thirty artists. Over thirteen countries. Clinicians, advocates, and patients in the same room, on the record.

03
The Artists
30+ Artists · 13+ Countries

Over thirty artists from over thirteen countries, working in paint, clay, thread, photography, print, and collage — on what it is to live inside a body that is so often disbelieved.

Artist · Storyteller · Endometriosis Advocate

Priscilla Smith is an artist, storyteller, and endometriosis advocate whose own experience with chronic illness inspired the creation of FLARE. After years of navigating pain, delayed diagnosis, and the emotional realities of living with endometriosis, she turned to art as a way to process, communicate, and connect.

She founded FLARE to create the kind of community she wished existed — one where stories are seen, voices are amplified, and no one feels alone.
