Raman Mundair is an Indian born, Queer, British Asian writer, director, dramaturg, activist, artist and filmmaker based in Shetland and Glasgow. She is the award winning author of Lovers, Liars, Conjurers and Thieves, A Choreographer’s Cartography, The Algebra of Freedom (a play) and is the editor of Incoming: Some Shetland Voices and a Scottish Book Trust IGNITE fellow. She is currently developing new drama ideas with Gentle Giant Productions, Synchronicity Films and the BBC. She is an intersectional feminist and as an activist she has worked on a grassroots level on anti-racism, anti-fascism, state violence, No Borders, and against gender-based, domestic and sexual violence. Her work is socially and politically observant, bold, mischievous, cutting-edge and potent with poetic imagery and integrity. Her writing plays with the intersections of race, gender, sexuality and class and challenges notions of British and colonial histories and identities. Raman’s work focuses on the experiences, knowledges and life-worlds of people of colour and reframes their experience from a fresh, new perspective. She has published poetry, fiction, drama and non-fiction and has performed and exhibited her artwork around the world from Aberdeen to Zimbabwe. In 2022, she was appointed a Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature.
