Black body
Phoebe Boswell's multimedia art works have been exhibited in numerous exhibitions in the UK, the US, South Africa, Sweden, Switzerland, Ukraine, and Italy. She has won the first ever Sky Academy Arts Scholarship (2011), and the $20,000 Special Prize in the 2017 Future Generation Prize in Kiev, which led to her work "Mutumia" being shown at the Vienna Biennale the same year. Her work has been described as using "layered methods of storytelling" to explore cultural roots and identity and "transient middle points and passages of migration". It deals with "the subject of frailty and belief systems", "questions the misrepresentation of the female and the Black body in society and culture", and "recast[s the female nude] as a site of power and heroism".
