An artist born in Baguio, Philippines, whose political consciousness emerged in the American South, and now based in Toronto, Bianca immerses herself in creative reckonings with the legacies of American imperialism through the lens of fashion. Translating encounters of text and textile toward generational healing, her art practice blends garment mending, historical/archival research, creative nonfiction, and Philippine weaving traditions.

With the artist collective habi habi po, Bianca coordinated workshops for Filipino/a/x artists and presented solo work at Unravelling (2025), habi habo po’s exhibit at Gallery 101. She shared textile knowledge through her research and writing in the zines maghabi magkatabi (2024) and habilin (2025). Bianca’s writing is also featured in the Fashion and Race Database, C Magazine, Hamilton Artists Inc., and the Fashion Studies Journal. In addition to organizing community art-based events in Athens, Georgia, Bianca taught garment mending for From Here to Wear’s slow fashion programming at East End Arts. Bianca holds a Master of Arts in Fashion from Toronto Metropolitan University.
