Lunch and crafts – welcoming art space
Feb 2 @ 13:00 – 15:00

Lunch and crafts is a new cyclic meeting program destined for everyone who would be interested in spending time with people while fulfilling themselves artistically. We will be hanging out every other Sunday at lunch time in Andrymi’s cosy room. It’s an occasion not only to do some crafts, but also to make new friends. Every meeting we will be focusing on different genre of art. If you have a creative mind, but you prefer to express it in a company of people, join us and let’s create together!
This week: knitting, embroidery etc. everything concerning yarn, wool, embroidery floss
If you have some tools and materials (old clothes, tshirts, caps etc. are also available), bring them, if not – we will share. If you would like to pursue any other genre of art, you are welcome to do that.

During meetings we will not only eat lunch and create together, it is also a chance for you to shine. If you would like to sing, read poetry or make out this time even more pleasant, you are welcome to come and use the space as a place of a free expression.

The goal is to destine products of our common work for future fundraising helping the cause of keeping Andrými alive and healthy. (But if you would like to make something only for yourself, that’s ok too!)

The meeting will take place on Sunday from 13:00/15:00 (approximately)

Accessibility
The Andrými house has it limits regarding accessibility. We are willing to meet any requests about improving accessibility or assisting anyone that asks.
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 bathrooms 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). There is no bathroom on the ground floor. The event takes place on the first floor.
Both washrooms in the building are gender neutral.

Share onion seeds / Deilum fræjum af lauk
Feb 18 @ 16:00 – 19:00

Deilum fræjum af lauk / Share onion seeds

Við pöntum saman fræ, kynnumst Vistræktarfélagi Íslands og notum tækifærið til að læra hvort af öðru. / We order seeds together, get to know The Icelandic Permaculture Association and use the day to learn from each other.

Grunngildi vistræktar eru: gætum jarðar, gætum fólks og skiptum rétt. / Ethics of Permaculture are: earth care, people care and fair share.

Við gætum fólks m.a. með því að að versla við eigendarekin fyrirtæki eins og Johnnys seeds og gerum einstaklingum kleyft að rækta lauka gerða fyrir norðlægar breiddargráður. / People care
by shopping with employee-owned companies like Johnnys seeds and allow people to grow onions for northernly latitudes.

Við gætum jarðar m.a. með því að skapa þekkingarsamfélag um ferla náttúrunnar, ein besta leiðin er að sá fræjum. / Earth care by creating a knowledge community about cycles of nature, one of the best ways is to sow seeds.

Við skiptum rétt með því að styðja við verðmæta samkomustaði, þess vegna fer hluti því sem fólk borgar fyrir fræin til Andrýmis. / Fair share by supporting valuable social spaces, therefore a part of the price of the seeds goes to Andrými.

 

Upplýsingar um aðgengi í andrými

Andrými er flutt í nýtt húsnæði á Bergþórugötu 20. Húsið er því miður ekki aðgengilegt fyrir hjólastóla í augnablikinu en það er mikið forgangsatriði hjá okkur að gera fyrstu hæð hússins aðgengilega sem fyrst. Teikningar af húsinu eru komnar til arkítekts sem er að vinna í teikningu af rampi og aðgengilegu klósetti svo við getum sent þær til Minjastofnunar í umsagnarskyldu og svo til borgarinnar.

Það er eitt þrep við hliðið að garðinum og svo fimm þrep sem leiða upp að aðalinngangi. Hvert þrep er 17sm hátt. Breidd dyra í húsinu er á milli 50sm (dyr að baðherberginu á efri hæð) og 80sm (aðaldyrnar). Dyrnar að fundarherberginu eru 75sm á breidd eins og flestar aðrar dyr í húsinu.

Baðherbergin eru einungis á efri hæð og í kjallara eins og er.
Bæði baðherbergin eru kynlaus.

Hinsegin fólk og heimilisofbeldi – Queer people and domestic violence @ Norræna húsið
Mar 7 @ 13:30 – 14:30

HVAR?/WHERE?: Norræna húsið/Nordic house

Svandís Anna Sigurðardóttir, sérfræðingur í hinsegin og jafnréttismálum á mannréttinda-og lýðræðisskrifstofu, kynnir samstarfsverkefnið Saman gegn ofbeldi frá árinu 2018 og framhaldið af því verkefni, en það er fyrsta og eina sinnar tegundar á Íslandi.

Saman gegn ofbeldi verkefnið þjónaði því hlutverki að kortleggja heimilisofbeldi gegn hinsegin fólki og hvernig betur mætti þjónusta þann hóp.

Vinsamlegast athugið að viðburðurinn fer fram á íslensku, ensku og íslensku táknmáli. Aðgengi er fyrir hjólastóla. Viðburðurinn er hluti af opinni dagskrá aðalfundarhelgarinnar og því ekki nauðsynlegt að vera félagi til að taka þátt.

Svandís Anna Sigurðardóttir, LGBTQ+ and Equality Advisor, presents the project Together against Violence, the only of its kind in Iceland.

Together against Violence (2018) is a project by Reykjavíkurborg and the Icelandic Police, which details the problem and possible solutions to domestic violence faced by queer people in Iceland.

Please note that the event is in Icelandic, English and Icelandic Sign language. The space is wheelchair accessible. The event is part of the open program of the Annual General Meeting, and therefore it is not necessary to be a member to attend.

Frítt inn—en frjáls framlög til Andrýmis vel þegin

Á árunum 1978–1985 stóð Ted Kaczynski, fyrrum stærðfræðiprófessor, einsamall fyrir sprengjuherferð gegn fólki innan úr bandaríska tæknigeiranum; þrír létu lífið & 23 særðust. Hvaða erindi á Kaczynskisem gefið hafði akademískan feril upp á bátinn fyrir einfalt líf úti í náttúrunni—í kaleidóskópíska frásögn af netheimum & hryðjuverkum, útópíustjórnmálum & amerískri andmenningu, LSD & CIA, sálfræðingnum Timothy Leary & eðlifræðingnum Heinz von Förster, rithöfundinum Ken Kesey & síkadelísku rokkhljómsveitinni Grateful Dead?

Um miðbik 20. aldar kom fram á sjónarsviðið herskari hugsuða vopnaður nýjum uppgötvunum í tækni & vísindum, stýri- & kerfisfræði, margmiðlunarlist, hernaði & sálfræði, sem áttu eftir að hafa gríðarleg áhrif á flestum sviðum mannlegrar tilveru. Samhliða örri þróun internetsins á síðasta fjórðungi 20. aldar vöknuðu upp áleitar spurningar um áhrif takmarkalausra framfara í upplýsingatækni á náttúru & samfélag. Í óhefðbundinni & ögrandi heimildamynd sinni skoðar Dammbeck þessa sögu & tvinnar saman við bréfaskipti sín & lífstíðarfangans Kaczynskis.

The Net, Documentary by Lutz Dammbeck (2003)
English & German (with English subtitles), 115 minutes

Sunday March 15th 2020—8:00 p.m.
Andrými—Bergþórugata 20—101 Reykjavík
Free entrance—but feel free to donate a bit for Andrými’s rent

From 1978 to 1985, former math professor Ted Kaczynski ran a lone-wolf bombing campaign, targeting individuals from within the U.S. techno-industry—of whom three died & 23 were injured. Where does Kaczynski—who had turned his back to an academic career for a simple life in rural Montana—fit into a kaleidoscopic narrative, including the internet & terrorism, utopian politics & American counter-culture, LSD & CIA, psychologist Timothy Leary & physicist-philosopher Heinz von Förster, author Ken Kesey & psychedelic rock-group Grateful Dead?

In the mid-20th century, a network of thinkers came forth with new discoveries in science & technology, cybernetics & systems theory, multimedia art, psychology & military research—affecting all spheres of human life. With the development of the internet during the last quarter of the 20th century, the question arose: What does the unlimited development of information technology mean for nature & society? In his unorthodox & provocative documentary, Dammbeck examines this story—interweaving it with his & Kaczynski correspondence.

Eating Disorder Presentation and Discussion
Jul 3 @ 18:00 – 20:00

Eating Disorder Presentation and Discussion / Framsetning og Umræða um Átröskun / Presentación y Discusión sobre el Trastorno Alimentario

The presentation (in English) will explain the underlying cause of eating disorders, and will also discuss the diet industry and recovery. The main themes are science and oppressive forces. The presentation does not include personal stories or graphic images (there is a trigger warning for one slide with non-graphic, Instagram-type images).

The discussion will not be a personal story-share/support group, but you can find the host afterwards if you’d like to talk more about support.

This is open to people with and without eating disorders.

This event is not the place to invalidate people with eating disorders or argue with anti-diet information.

 

Accessibility:

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 bathrooms 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). There is no bathroom on the ground floor.
