Ahmar Mahboob / Prof Nomad / Sunny Boy Brumby, born of South Asian refugees and South Asian social, economic, and political oppression, they grew up in exile in the United Arab Emirates, where they were educated not just through conventional schools but also through relationships with artists, poets, journalists, politicians, and writers—all friends of their parents. With them, they had grown to identify oppressive practices in academia and governance. Working on issues of disempowerment and marginalisation and recently abandoning most colonial teachings, they draw on observation, analysis, and practice to develop both their understandings and their own practices.
