Stacey Tyrell, Backra Bluid
Tyrell feels that simply by changing her skin color in the images and by making subtle tweaks to her face, she is able to show the simplistic baseline from which we make assumptions about race. The words in the title originate from West Indian and Scottish languages: Backra is Caribbean slang meaning “white master” or “white person,” while Bluid is a Scottish word meaning “the blood of men and animals, as well as kin.” - Slate
from the series Chattel by Stacey Tyrell

Backra Bluid -Â Stacey Tyrell
Brooklyn-based photographer Stacey Tyrell investigates her own mixed heritage  and the colonialized experiences of non-whites. As an African-Canadian, whose family most recently hails from the Caribbean, she is brutally aware of the English/Scottish/Irish blood in her veins—the ubiquitous reality lived by people who are labeled as “black” in the West.
Tyrell poses herself as women and girls of various ages, dressed in the outfits of her white ancestors. She displays ambiguous racial features achieved through a combination of lighting, costuming, make-up and digital retouching. The images are inspired by formal Western painting, a nod to the imperialism to which the project refers.
The title of the series “Backra Bluid” draws from words of both West Indian and Scottish origins. The term “Backra” is an archaic Caribbean slang of West African origin meaning white master or white person and “Bluid” is the Scotch word for the blood of men and animals as well as kin.
