Her work conjures historical narratives of struggle and resistance, drawing from familial roots and ancestral spirituality to explore the emotional and cultural reverberations of colonialism across the Filipino diaspora. Bridges revives the heritages of her matrilineal line, addressing gaps in family histories fractured by generations of conflict. The exhibition title, I’m Not Your Filipina, riffs on I Am Not Your Negro, directed by Raoul Peck and based on James Baldwin’s unfinished manuscript Remember This House. For LAMAG’s presentation, Bridges includes three paintings from her White Out series: Illuminated by the Subtle Bleeding Light, Sampaguita, and Who Lick a Rare Heart?. These works confront identity, memory, and the enduring effects of colonial histories through processes of hiding, exposing, and unfolding within painting. Inspired by Robert Ryman and Pope.L, Bridges “whites out” her paintings as an act of subversive defiance and resistance. Through repetition, shadow, and subtle color interaction, she investigates paint’s material properties with a restrained, minimalist approach. Rachel Bridges: I’m Not Your Filipina is curated by Nancy Meyer, LAMAG curator, with research and administrative support by Zandra Sweeney, OXY InternLA 2025.
