Phoebe's PhD research looked at how feminist activists in Peru use creative interventions around gender violence and reproductive justice. These actions, including art, performance, and audiovisual media create new spaces for social and cultural change in difficult political contexts. Beyond this, her research has looked at the intersections of art and feminist activism, particularly reproductive rights activism.
