Why do we suffer?: the Buddhist perspective
Jan 21 @ 19:00 – 21:00

American Buddhist monk Lama Erik Drew Jung is at Andrými AGAIN!

His visit in Jan 2019 was an absolute success and we would love to see you again. So come and join us for an evening talk on nature of suffering and how to address it from Buddhism perspective with Venerable Bodhi Lama Erik Drew Jung, an American Buddhist monk of the Nyingma sect of Tibetan Buddhism. Lama Erik is a warm and engaging speaker who is on a European tour this month and is visiting Iceland for a week.

Bodhi Lama Erik Drew Jung grew up in Portland, Oregon and at an early age was introduced to Mahayana Buddhism by his father, a practitioner in the Nyingma School of Tibetan Buddhism. In 1990, he earned a bachelor degree from The Evergreen State College. In 1994, he received a licensure in acupuncture (Lic. Ac.) from the Worlsey Institute of Classical Acupuncture, and in 2000, a master degree in acupuncture from The Academy for Five Element Acupuncture.

Lama Erik first took refuge in the Three Jewels 1989 with H. H. The Dhali Lama, and in the spring of 2004 met his root teacher, Tibetan meditation master and thirty-third generation Dzogchen lineage holder, H.E. Dzogchen Khenpo Choga Rinpoche. He took refuge vows with Rinpoche that day, receiving the refuge name Orgyen Thabkey Dorje, and has served and studied closely with his Root Guru ever since.

Since 2004, Orgyen Thabkey Dorje has cumulatively spent more than three years in Dzogchen Buddha Path Retreats and Internships. He took monastic vows in 2008, and since 2010 has worked full time with the Dzogchen Lineage Translation Committee to help Rinpoche compose, translate, and edit the forthcoming Third Edition Buddha Path, along with many other Buddhist texts and sadhanas in English. As well, he has taught Buddhism widely across the U.S., and conducted many overseas teaching tours in Europe and Russia.

LECTURE: Climate Crisis and “the Logic of Masculinist Protection”
Jan 23 @ 12:00 – 13:00

WHERE:

Thjodminjasafn Islands

41 Suður Gata, 101 Reykjavík, Iceland

(Íslenska útgáfu má finna hér að neðan.)

Ole Martin Sandberg is the first lecturer of the RIKK and GRÓ-GEST Lecture Series for Spring 2020 with a lecture entitled “Climate Crisis and “the Logic of Masculinist Protection.”” The lecture will be held Thursday 23 January, 12:00-13:00, at the Lecture Hall of the National Museum.

We are already seeing the disastrous consequences of the climate crisis around the planet, and as global carbon emissions keep rising the future is uncertain. For some scholars, the collapse of human civilisation and even human extinction are real possibilities. Social collapse is also a prevalent theme in in contemporary culture and popular entertainment. This lecture argues that this fear might be misguided. The current climate crisis is terrifying, but what we should fear is not the collapse of social order as we know it but its continuation. Drawing upon Iris Marion Young’s “logic of masculinist protection” I argue that the fear of social collapse tends to make us seek protection by giving more power to those in charge of the political system, while we lose trust in each other. Thus, the climate crisis is more likely to lead to the intensification of current power structures, globally and within nations. As the already vulnerable suffer from climate catastrophes, those who are protected and already powerful will increase their domination, especially if they do so under the guise of the “benevolent patriarch” that promises to protect us from disorder. This logic undermines the elements that are most needed to survive disasters: care, social trust, and mutual aid. The talk analyses the social and political reactions in recent real disasters as examples of what we can expect more of, and learn from, as the climate crisis intensifies.

Ole Martin Sandberg is a PhD candidate in philosophy and a teacher of Ethics of Nature at the University of Iceland. His paper, “Climate Disruption, Political Stability, and Collective Imagination”, on which this lecture is based, will be published in the forthcoming issue of Radical Philosophy Review.

The lecture is in English, open to everyone, and admission is free.

The RIKK and GRÓ-GEST lecture series in spring 2020 is devoted to gender and climate change. The aim of the lecture series is to take a gender and equality perspective on the urgent topic of climate change.

The lecture series is held in collaboration with the National Museum of Iceland.

Ole Martin Sandberg er fyrsti fyrirlesari fyrirlestraraðar RIKK og GRÓ-GEST á vormisseri 2020 og nefnist fyrirlestur hans „Climate Crisis and „the Logic of Masculinist Protection.““ Fyrirlesturinn er fluttur fimmtudaginn 23. janúar, kl. 12:00-13:00, í fyrirlestrasal Þjóðminjasafns Íslands.

Í fyrirlestrinum verður fjallað um hvernig hræðsla margra, þ.á.m. fræðimanna, við hrun siðmenningar í kjölfar loftslagskrísunnar er byggð á misskilningi þar sem við ættum ekki að hræðast sundurliðun samfélagsstrúktúra okkar heldur einmitt áframhald þeirra. Ole Martin styðst við hugmyndir Iris Marion Young um rökvísi karlmannlegrar verndar (e. „the logic of masculinist protection“) og færir rök fyrir því að hræðslan við samfélagshrun láti okkur gjarnan leita verndar með því að gefa þeim sem eru við stjórnartaumana aukið vald á sama tíma og við töpum félagslegu trausti. Þannig er líklegt að núverandi valdastrúktúrar, bæði hnattrænir og staðbundnir, eflist í loftslagskrísunni. Rökvísi karlmannlegrar verndar grefur undan þeim eiginleikum sem við þurfum helst á að halda til að komast í gegnum hamfarir einsog umhyggju, félagslegu trausti og samhjálp. Fyrirlesturinn greinir félagsleg og pólitísk viðbrögð við nýlegum hamförum til að skoða við hverju er að búast, og hvað við getum lært, nú þegar loftslagshamfarir færast í aukana.

Ole Martin Sandberg er doktorsnemi í heimspeki og kennari í námskeiðinu Siðfræði náttúrunnar við Háskóla Íslands. Fyrirlesturinn byggir á væntanlegri grein hans í Radical Philosophy Review sem ber titilinn „Climate Disruption, Political Stability, and Collective Imagination.“

Fyrirlesturinn er fluttur á ensku, er öllum opinn og aðgangur ókeypis.

Hádegisfyrirlestraröð RIKK og GRÓ-GEST á haustmisseri 2019 er tileinkuð kynjuðum víddum loftslagsbreytinga. Markmið fyrirlestraraðarinnar er að skoða hið knýjandi málefni sem loftslagsbreytingar eru út frá kynjafræðilegu og jafnréttissjónarhorni.

Fyrirlestraröðin er haldin í samvinnu við Þjóðminjasafn Íslands.

Andrymi Cafeteka open house / opið hús
Jan 23 @ 18:00 – 21:00

Andrými started as a community gathering around a free dinner – for all to have access to warm food and connection with people in town. The focus was to create a space where refugees and migrants could meet locals and each other, get out of our private, alienating lives, and become more collective beings.

Since Andrými secured a house, it has come to shelter a lot of activities – meetings of different grassroots groups, people organising and mobilizing for a better society, an anarchist library, a kitchen for all, different events focused on skill sharing or socializing.

Once we got into a rhythm, Andrými stopped being a specific group, becoming rather a place that is open for all that want to get involved and organize within it. Nonetheless, we acknowledge that sometimes we have to get together for freshideas and untapped energy to spring up. So this is a call for people that are curious, open to learning how to run a space together in a direct, democratic way. For people that want to open up their hearts towards processes that promote inclusion and the creation of safer spaces for all.

You can find more information about the values of Andrými here: https://andrymi.org/what-we-stand-for-2/

—–

The event will take place between 18-21.

At 18.30, there will be a short house tour and a presentation for those coming to the space for the first time. The main room will be arranged as a cosy cafetek (coffee and tea) – so you can read a book from the anarchist library in the house, chat over a warm cup with old or new friends, organise your creative ideas with others, form interest groups, get to know people, and provide further help with Andrými’s organisation.

The space is yours as long as you take care of it <3

 

Icelandic translation: 

Hafiðið áhuga á Andrými og langar ykkur í að taka þátt í það með öðrum? Eruðið með eitthvað hugmyndar eða viljiðið stuðla að hugmyndum aðra sem eiga að vera í rýminu? Viljiðið passa rýmið og hjálpa með því að hafa samband við samfélög og fólk sem myndu hafa gott af Andrými?

Á fimmtudögum önnur hver vika, við ætlum að opna húsið að bjóða fólki að hittast. Komiðið með óskar, spurningar og þarfar þínar, með vinum eða einn/ein/eitt, og sjáum til hvað við getum gert saman!

Andrými byrjaði sem samkoma um kvöldmat fyrir alla til þess að njóta heits mats og tengingar við fólk í bænum. Áherslan var að byggja rými þar sem flotta- og farandverkafólk gætu hitt heimafólk og hvort annað á meðan við slepptum við einangrunu og fráhverfingu í lífunum okkar, og á sama tíma þróast í frekar sameiginlegt fólk.

Síðan Andrými samdi um húsnæði, mörg hafa komið til að nota húsið — mismunandi grasrótahópar halda funda, fólk er að skipuleggja og virkja fyrir betra samfélag, anarkísta bókasafn er til, eldhús fyrir alla, og mismunandi viðburðir með áherslu á leiknisamnýtingu eða bara tækifæri til að gera eitthvað skemmtilegt.

Eftir við komast inn í hlutina, Andrými var ekki lengur sérstakur hópur, varð frekar staður sem er opinn fyrir alla til að taka þátt og þróa hugmyndar þeirra. Samt viðurkennum við að stundum þurfum við hittast til að bjóða óheyrðum/ferskum skoðunum. Þetta er kall til þeirra sem eru forvitin, til í að læra að reka svona pláss saman á beinan, lýðræðislegan hátt. Fyrir þau sem langar í að styðja aðferðir fyrir meðtalningu og öryggisrými, verið velkomin.

Upplýsingar um gildi Andrímis finnst hér: https://andrymi.org/is/gildi/

Viðburðurinn stendur á milli kl. 18 til 21.

Á kl. 18:30 verður stútt hússýningu og kynningu fyrir þau sem koma til Andrýmis í fyrsta sinn. Aðalherbergið verður raðandi upp sem kósý kaffihús (kaffi og te). Verið velkomin að fletta bók frá bókasafninu, rabba saman með eitthvað heitt, skipuleggja skapandi hugmyndar með öðrum, búa til áhugahópa, kynnast fólki, og taka þátt í Andrými.

Rýmið er þitt eins lengi og þú passar það <3

Laura Secord/Brött Brekka and friends
Jan 23 @ 19:30 – 23:30

Laura Secord and Brött Brekka each released a new album at the end of 2019 and now it is time to celebrate and have a big concert.

All great bands. Lots of fun. Get off yr butt and come on down.

Proceeds from the show will go toward counselling services for LGBTQ+ youth at Samtökin 78.

Laura Secord and Brött Brekka are two of the most exciting rock bands ever to come out of Reykjavik. They are a lot of fun to see live and their albums are really good, so you should definitely come to the show and support a good cause and then when you have all that fun, buy an album. Yes, indeed.

Samtökin ’78 is an NGO dedicated to the interest and rights of lesbian, homosexual, bisexual, asexual, pansexual, transgender and intersex people in Iceland. We think the counselling they do there is awesome and deserves our support.

Tónlistasamspil / Folk Session
Jan 23 @ 20:00 – 23:45
This is one of the weekly sessions for folk music in Reykjavík – there will be drinks provided and all donations collected will go to funding Andrými. If you know what a session is, come and bring songs and tunes (if you have them)! If not, read on.
 
This session is the only one currently in Iceland but it’s a really common format throughout the English and Gaelic-speaking world and in lots of parts of Europe and probably lots of other places too. The idea is that people come with unamplified music and songs and dances and then do them with other people, usually in a common style. Because we are quite international, most commonly you’ll hear Irish music and songs, and also from Iceland, Scandinavia, Britain, North America and Europe.
 
These days (since the 1960s), usually a session will happen in a pub, or sometimes a house. It’s not like a concert because it’s not a performance and there’s not really an audience, though there are often people that just come to listen or chat and maybe join in with some singing if they’re feeling that way inclined. It’s also not like a jam session because there are set songs and tunes which all the people participating will know, or are learning. If you want to learn some of these, there’s lots to help you at https://www.facebook.com/groups/RVKsession.
 
If you don’t play or have a song to bring you’re more than welcome to come and hang out with your friends, and talking, drinking etc. is encouraged during the music – the more atmosphere the better. Sometimes everyone might be quiet to listen to a solo singer. Often you’ll be able to pick up the choruses to the songs and are welcome to join in.
 
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.
Both washrooms in the building are gender neutral.
