Hello, my name is Philippa.
I am an MSc International Development & Management Student at Lund University. Currently, I volunteer as co-head of The Perspective Magazine, focusing on Layout and Design. Additionally, I am continually developing my skills in photography and social media communication.
Previously I worked as a columnist and contributor at Lundagård Newspaper, but I have taken a sabbatical to work on my passion project Frontline Street Art. I use this platform to explore the power of art for protest and in the wider society.

Quarter-Life Crisis – Lundagard.se
Lundagårds student life columnist Philippa Scholz, at 24, confesses to navigating a quarter-life crisis, realising its statistical relevance before turning 25. Exploring her current anxieties as likely symptoms, she wonders: Could this be the quintessential quarter-life challenge?
We all know about the mid-life crisis. Growing up, every second comedy sketch or film referenced a man going through a divorce and dating someone half his age or buying a motorbike. Women, when portrayed at all, were

Cutting Stereotypes, One Trim at a Time – Lundagard.se

I need a Villian to Blame for my Misfortunes – Lundagard.se
After a freak accident caused Lundagård’s student life columnist Philippa Scholz to no longer be able to run her first marathon, she had to deal with feelings of anger, disappointment and frustration. As she came to terms with what had happened, she realised that there was no one she could blame for her misfortune – not even herself.
I need a constant underlying stress to feel like I have a purpose. It’s not great for my blood pressure, but it does result in me pushing myself out of my comfort

I juggle hobbies like others do love affairs – Lundagard.se
Like many people today, I like to keep my options open. Committing is harder than ever in an age where each day I could have an experience better and more wonderful than the next. However, my reluctance to settle down doesn’t just end with my romantic partners— I can’t seem to pick a hobby either.
I love collecting them. It’s the rush of finding something I haven’t tried before, the thrill of researching about it, and the dopamine kick I get when I buy whatever is needed for said discovery. It

The Transformative Irenic Rebellious Power of Street Art in Colombia
Concerns are growing within the field of development as global democracy rates decline. As a
solution to how to rebuild democratic systems is currently unclear, this thesis looks at the case
of Colombia and the national protests (colloquially referred to as El Paro) that began in April
2021. The nation, suffering from increasing political polarisation, rising poverty rates and
crippling structural inequalities, was forced to stop all normal activities. For two months, the
protestors campaigned for more just democratic systems. Interestingly, street art proliferated
during this time across urban spaces. A topic as of yet mostly ignored within development,
this thesis focuses on understanding what the significance of street art was to protestors
during the national strike. Guiding the research were previous studies on street art in South
America from a variety of disciplines and a conceptual framework which consisted of the
meta theories Right to the City, Social Movement Theory and Anomie Theory. By interviewing
10 protestors in total, 5 each from the cities of Bogotá and Cali, this thesis uses an iterative
coding process to build the meta-framework Typologies of Rebellion. Using this framework,
the middle-range grounded theory Irenic Rebellious City Transformation was generated which
aided the analysis of the primary data collected to be able to provide evidence that street art
was significant during El Paro because it acts as a non-violent, rebellious tool which works
for the collective good.

Creating a Logo in Adobe Illustrator With No Experience in One Day — Frontline Street Art
For me, Frontline Street Art has become a bit of a passion project. Not only does it give me the opportunity to explore my thesis topic at new and exciting lengths, but it has also given me a reason to learn exciting creative tools.
