Shared Flight Collective is a collaboration between three multidisciplinary immigrant artists: Diana Olarte, Doro Buch, and Claudia Chagoya. Brought together by a shared experience of migration and a commitment to dialogue across borders, our collective explores the intersections of personal histories, identity, and transformation through art. Working across diverse media—including painting, installation, projection mapping, and mixed 2D/3D forms—we draw on our varied cultural backgrounds and artistic practices to create a
space for poetic inquiry and mutual support. Regular online conversations form the foundation of our collaborative process, allowing us to reflect deeply on themes of displacement, resilience, and the layered nature of migration.
A recurring motif in our work is the bird—a symbol of flight, fragility, adaptation, and freedom. It connects our individual journeys and acts as a metaphor for movement, rootedness, and the search for belonging. Through this shared symbol, we weave together narratives that merge art and nature, the personal and the political, memory and migration. Together, we aim to create works that are not only visually compelling but also serve as vessels for connection—between cultures, between disciplines, and between people navigating the complex terrain of home and identity.
