Pheby's PhD thesis considered the social and economic benefits of access to culture and the barriers to that access.[8][9]
Pheby has worked with international partners to co-curate several offsite projects including the Kyiv Sculpture Project (2012).[10][11] In 2016 she curated 'A Place in Time' at the NIROX sculpture foundation in the UNESCO Cradle of Humankind, South Africa.[citation needed]
Pheby's 2016 exhibition 'Beyond Boundaries: Art by Email' in collaboration with ArtRole in Kurdistan-Iraq gave a platform to artists in the Middle East and North Africa whose political and other circumstances made it very difficult for them to travel to the UK.[12][13]
