Feminist Land Art Retreat (FLAR) is a conceptual project by Emily Carr University of Art + Design alumna Nicole Ondre and Vanessa Disler.

Born in 2010 with a rock-concert style poster depicting mirrored images of Robert Smithson’s Spiral Jetty, FLAR draws upon the visual and linguistic iconography of canonical conceptual and feminist art, fashion, graphic design, and advertising in their posters, photographs, sculptures, performances, and videos.

Free Rein features a new video work titled No Man's Land which witnesses the lives of horses, the women who work with them, and the landscapes they share.

Retreat
No Person's Land

Limited capacity, please email Amy Kazymerchyk to register.

No Person's Land uses collaborative research to enact how alternative structures might be formed between peers based on shared commitments and support; mapping a terrain between practice, thinking and being. In a one-day retreat, participants will work with movement, reading, writing, listening and cooking methodologies around SFU Burnaby's campus. No Person's Land will expand upon values regarding sentience, sovereignty and mutual-dependence that FLAR's exhibition expresses.

No Person's Land was initiated by Amanprit Sandhu and cheyanne turions through DAM Projects in London, UK. This iteration is co-programmed by Amy Kazymerchyk and cheyanne turions.
