Toni Shapiro-Phim is a writer, photographer and cultural activist who focuses on the intersections between the arts and social change concerns, such as displacement and violence. She spent years collaborating with Cambodian artists in refugee camps in Southeast Asia, and then inside Cambodia, helping them document their lives and work. Since completing her Ph.D. in cultural anthropology, she has published articles, books and photographs that engage with war, genocide, gender violence and exile in relation to dance, music and drama across the globe, and has continued to work with artists of diverse backgrounds on social change research, performance and exhibition initiatives.
