NYU Tisch, School of the Arts is in the midst of a 2 week celebration to mark the 200th birthday of Karl Marx.
Events include The P Project, where attendees can earn money by participating in performance art, details are otherwise sketchy. You could also attend a lecture on Racial Capitalism hosted by NYU professors who, presumably, will extol the "virtues" of Marxism vis-a-vis Capitalism. I suspect they'll gloss over some of the Marxist inspired atrocities that plagued the world during the 20th century. And don't forget to attend The Marxist Dance Party featuring DJ AndrewAndrew spinning Marxist dance tracks and reading from comunist propoganda.
Fight the power, fellas
Participant Bios include:
luciana achugar, a Brooklyn-based choreographer from Uruguay, has been making work in NYC and Uruguay independently and collaboratively since 1999.
Amin Husain’s interests focus on resistance and liberation, movement generated theory and practice. His research and teaching interests span debt and financialization, globalization and political economy, social movements and cultures of resistance, race, class and ethnicity in the media, and postcolonial theory.
Julie Tolentino is a performance installation maker whose work draws from a variety of visual, archival, and movement strategies. Her work has been presented at many venues
Admission to the events is free but the organizers have requested that attendees pay what they think it's worth and they are provided with an itemization of what each performance cost so that one can better quantify how much is owed.
There will of course be seminars on climate change, identity politics and the whole slew of left wing radicalism. Sounds. Like. Fun.
