New York University is celebrating Karl Marx’s 200th birthday in the form of a two-week long festival. Festivities started on Oct. 17 and run through Oct. 28th (for what it’s worth, Marx’s actual birthday is actually May 5).

The two-week birthday celebration called “On Your Marx” is described as a “festival of art and ideas in celebration of Karl Marx’s 200th birthday” where participants put “Marxist theories and ideas to work in 21st century contexts.”
