The Book
Flourish Through the Fire
An endometriosis art & reflection journal — part companion, part workbook, part permission slip.
By Priscilla Smith · Founder of FLARE
Every shop is an argument about what deserves to leave the building.
Ours is a short one. Nine objects, grouped three ways: things to wear, things to carry, things to keep. A hoodie for the walk home in October. A glass that makes an ordinary Tuesday feel considered. A tote with room for groceries, books, and the occasional exhibition catalogue.
Each piece is made to order — nothing is produced that nobody wanted, and nothing sits in a box waiting to be thrown away. It takes a little longer to arrive. That is the trade, and we think it is the right one.
And every purchase supports FLARE’s programming: the exhibition, the artists in it, and the work that continues after the walls come down.

Support that outlives the weekend.
Three days in September are the visible part. The shop is one of the quiet ways the rest of it — the artists, the programming, the year that follows — gets paid for.
