Join Professor Elaine Kelly for the inaugural lecture on the musical relations between the German Democratic Republic (GDR) and the postcolonial world. This lecture explores the Soviet Bloc states' alliances with newly independent postcolonial countries in the latter half of the twentieth century. The lecture focuses on the role of music in East German solidarity politics, shedding light on the rhetoric and practices of the GDR's interactions with its postcolonial partners. Through music, East Germans and international students and workers in the GDR expressed solidarity and supported socialist assistance packages to countries like Cambodia. The circulation of music and performers facilitated ambitions of socialist worldmaking, but also exposed the limitations and complexities of socialist solidarity. Professor Elaine Kelly, a leading scholar in music and politics, will deliver this lecture at the University of Edinburgh. The event will take place both in person at West Court, Edinburgh College of Art, and online. Please select your preferred attendance method when booking. Access requirements should be communicated to eca.events@ed.ac.uk.

There are quite a lot of people who have to queue up at the castle ticket gate. Buy the ticket for 5 minutes directly at Trip.com and go in directly. It is too convenient. The castle scenery is very good, you can go shopping slowly, and you can rent a translation headset after you go in. If you need it, the text introduction is actually written in detail.

Palace of Holyroodhouse

Holly Luther Palace is worth a visit. When time permits, you must see Queen Mary&#39;s Palace in Scotland. It is still the place where the royal family holds a garden party in the summer. It overlooks the throne of Arthur. The order of visits inside the palace is very reasonable. With the introduction in the headset, immersive feeling the heavy atmosphere of history! !

It is the most romantic sunset place. I have been here, it was cold but beautiful! I will not go into details about the many celebrity check-in places.
But my only deepest experience was the lyrics,
&quot;The castle keeps secrets for love, and I keep memories for you&quot;
I didn&#39;t think this song was romantic before, until I climbed to the top of Carlton Mountain⛰️It was really speechless and beautiful!!
I really like this light blue gentle dusk~~Thanks to the little afterglow near sunset that day, I saw the light blue and light orange sky line in the distance, which was really extremely romantic~~Continuously touched me✨💕🌹Recommend this extremely romantic place, must go?

Medieval dusk🌆, the only one in the world❤️
