That is in fact the case, because 'cultural' is being used as an adjective in the statement in question.

Cultural phenomena is a well known phrase that still is plural and should be used as so.

You do not always refer to a clause as a singular. Example: "cultural phenomena are a well-known and rather uninteresting ground for trolling on text-boards".
