Femínísk sjálfsvörn / Feminist Self-Defense
Aug 15 @ 17:00 – 20:00

**THIS EVENT IS CLOSED TO CIS MEN**

Hinsegin gegn kúgun // Queers Against Oppression

An introduction to feminist self-defense (a talk and a short training). No previous experience necessary!

Gender based violence is a prevailing form of oppression towards women and queer people alike (although there are fundamental differences in the way women and queer-identified people get attacked).

Slagtog is a queer-feminist collective which has for a goal to train feminist self-defence.

We reject the idea that practicing self-defence means taking the responsibility away from the perpetrators of violence. It is not the responsibility of the attacked to stop or prevent an aggression, but that doesn’t mean we are not capable to or shouldn’t try to defend ourselves when it comes to it.

We believe that the repeated propaganda about our own powerlessness and incapability to defend ourselves is a patriarchal schema that society uses to keep us from resisting.
And for those of us who do resist, society doesn’t hesitate use its law to deem us guilty of violence.

BABES ROLL OUT is a manifest, a celebration and a utopia, created by Brynhildur Thorarinsdottir and Sanna Carlson made especially for queers, bisexual and lesbians to enjoy.
A room where our love, our longing, our sexuality is at the center.
A room where we point a sexy middle finger towards the heterosexual norm of society.
A room in which we are the best existing thing.

Queers Without Borders: Action Meeting // Hinsegin án landmæra: róttækur fundur
Aug 17 @ 19:00 – 22:00

Queers Without Borders: Action Meeting [Icelandic below]

Post-parade, pre-party. Create the Pride you want to see.

An informal meeting exploring injustice and violence against queer people in Iceland and discussing various ways how to draw attention to it. Bodily violence against intersex children, financial inaccessibility of HRT for many low-income people (especially youth), and deportations of queer asylum seekers are a few examples of such issues.

Come share your experiences and ideas. All radically-minded queers and non-queer accomplices are welcome. Invite your friends here

The meeting is an independently-organised grassroots event, not backed up by any one collective, but rather a few individuals.

Accessibility of Andrými:

Andrými is currently not accessible to wheelchairs, and challenging to access for people who have difficulties going up steps. THE EVENT CAN BE MOVED ELSEWHERE if anyone would like to take part but cannot due to inaccessibility: please let us know on blue1211(at)riseup.net as soon as possible and we will find an alternative space.

Hvað gerir okkur hamingjusöm? og: Hvernig eigum við að koma fram við aðra?

What actually makes us happy? And: How should we treat others?

holistic safety & legal rights in demonstrations // réttindi og öryggi í mótmælum
Sep 7 @ 11:00 – 15:00

An independently organised event hosted by Oktavia and Olga. NOTE: BOTH THE PROTEST ROOM AND THE LIBRARY ARE RESERVED FOR THE EVENT.

Partaking in demonstrations is a necessary act of societal participation. Doing so in a safer way and knowing your rights in Iceland is fundamental to any act of defiance.
During this workshop we will engage in safety in a holistic manner, digital, physical and most importantly psycho-social and self-care as well as get insight into the legal frameworks in Iceland that define what rights individuals have and what can be expected from law enforcement.

Accessibility:

Andrými is currently not accessible to wheelchairs, and challenging to access for people who have difficulties going up steps.

There is a step before the garden gate and then 5 steps leading to the main entrance, each 17 cm high, door widths in the building vary between 50 cm (upstairs washroom door) and 80 cm (entrance door).
The washrooms are so far only on the upper floor and in the basement. The door to the meeting room is 75 cm wide (as most other doors in the building). The event takes place on the ground floor. There is no bathroom on the ground floor.

Both washrooms in the building are gender neutral. Pronoun badges are available.

The library will serve as a space of calm for folx who need to minimize input (sound, light, people) and who need to be able to opt in and out of sessions. We will be able to have the workshop in multiple languages, English, Icelandic, Danish and basic Spanish. We will provide food and snack to make the space accessible to folx who have little leeway or space for extra budgetary considerations.
