Conversations

Artists, clinicians, advocates and people living with endometriosis, speaking at length — in Inside FLARE, the podcast, and on stage at each exhibition.

Priscilla Smith, microphone in hand and laughing, opens the keynote lecture in a gold dress before a projected title card, her stacked-steel sculpture Waiting for You on its plinth beside her.

In development

A documentary film about what happens when a community gathers around one person’s idea — the artists, clinicians, chef, musicians and volunteers who built FLARE’s first exhibition.

Co-directed by Amanda Fuller and Priscilla Smith. Updates on the film will be shared through the FLARE Journal.
