This coming Wednesday ( 27th of May), Slagtog will provide a space for discussing anti-feminist backlashes and attacks that feminists all around the globe are subjected to.
We want to discuss the anti-feminist backlashes feminist movements around the world are facing. We want to share stories about the different forms of attacks that these backlashes encourage, and share strategies to defend ourselves from them.
The discussion will be shaped by the people present, as the contexts differ from place to place (from Iceland, to Afghanistan, Sri Lanka and Malawi etc.. but also from the classroom, to parties with friends to family dinners etc… )
These attacks are public and personal, they happen online, in the street and in our home. We have to defend ourselves against them emotionally, verbally, psychologically and often physically.
The event will go something like this:
-Introduction: Name, pronoun, emotional status (if wanted), what one’s feminism is like and whatever else you want to say about yourself.
-Movement game
– Discussion I: What kind of anti-feminist attacks exist in our different contexts?
– Movement game
-Discussion II: How have we and can we defend ourselves from the attacks mentioned in discussion I?
-Final round: reflection, feedback and expression of any emotions experienced after the discussions.
At the end of the session, we will spend some time having drinks, chatting about whatever and listening to some feminist beats 🌹🎺
NOTE: Please don’t panic about the movement games. They will be accessible for all and no one is obligated to take part in them. We in Slagtog it is important and nice to engaging the body in feminist spaces, but we also like to have a little bit fun especially when talking about subjects that can be very heavy. It can also help people to stay focused on a discussion over a longer period of time.

Í samstarfi við Listahátíð í Reykjavík kynnum við stolt yfirtöku post-dreifingar á Klúbbi Listahátíðar 2020 í Iðnó.
Sumarið okkar í post-dreifingu fór hægar af stað en við höfðum séð fyrir okkur – vegna ástandsins í samfélaginu urðum við að fresta hinni árlegu tónlistarhátíð HÁTÍÐNI fram til ársins 2021. En þegar einar dyr lokast opnast gjarnan aðrar, og í ár (á fimmtugasta afmælisári sínu) var það Klúbbur Listahátíðar í Reykjavík sem bankaði upp á. Við tökum klúbbaþemað grafalvarlega og ætlum að breyta Iðnó í sannkallaða miðstöð grasrótarinnar; alþjóðlegan stórveislu-post-klúbb.
Við munum fyrir vikið standa fyrir fjölbreyttri dagskrá í Iðnó fyrstu tvær vikurnar í júlí – m.a. vinnusmiðjum, tónlistarviðburðum, ljóðaupplestrum og sýningum á myndbandsverkum. Hugmyndin með vinnusmiðjunum er að bjóða áhugasömum að taka þátt í hinum ýmsu hliðum þeirra verkefna sem post-dreifing stendur fyrir og taka fyrir jafnt það sem tengist skapandi ferlum og skipulagsstarfi.

post-dreifing presents, in collaboration with Reykjavík Art Festival:
– B I G – P A R T Y – P O S T – C L U B – I N T E R N A T I O N A L –
In collaboration with Reykjavík Art Festival, we proudly announce post-dreifing’s takeover of the 2020 Reykjavík Art Festival Club in Iðnó.
For us involved with post-dreifing, the summer got off to a slower start than we had previously pictured – with the tense situation in society we had to postpone our yearly music festival, HÁTÍÐNI, to 2021. But when one door is shut a new one often opens up, and this year (on their fiftieth anniversary) Reykjavík Art Festival came knocking. We take the club-theme very seriously and plan to turn Iðnó into a true hub of the local underground; an International Big Party Post-Club.
We’ll host a diverse schedule in Iðnó over the first two weeks of July – workshops, music-events, poetry readings, performances, screenings, exhibitions and more. The workshops will play a big part here and the idea behind them is to invite those interested to take part in the many different aspects of post-dreifing’s countless projects, focusing equally on creative processes and organizational work. As some might know, post-dreifing’s ideological foundation is based on a so-called DIT (Do-It-Together) approach. In harmony with those values the project’s primary goal is knowledge sharing – and hopefully inspiring people to start creating themselves.
It is very dear to our collective to get a platform at Reykjavík Art Festival to share our experiences and the creative products of those who work within it – to introduce our project and hopefully have a ton of fun. We can’t wait to welcome you all to the club.
In solidarity with our Black brothers and sisters in the United States of America, we will be gathering at Austurvollur to stand in defiance against the system of White supremacy that continues to murder Black people. It is important that allies assume the role of allyship during this event to protect Black people, ensure a safe space for everyone, and prioritize Black voices above your own. Jeffrey Guarino and Asantewa Feaster will be moderators for the event. The demonstration will begin with reading the names of Black people murdered at the hands of police officers and then, 8 minutes and 46 seconds of silence to represent the length of time it took to murder George Floyd. There will be speakers discussing White supremacy, the institutional use of the police to suppress Black people, and how you can put your White privilege into actions to protect Black people. The demonstration will close with remarks from Asantewa Feaster.

Jafnvel þótt að ástandið sé að versna í Afganistan þá hafa þjóðir innan Evrópu eins og Noregur, Danmörk, Svíþjóð og Þýskaland og fleiri eru að senda heim hælisleitendur og setja líf þeirra í hættu.
Við hreinlega getum ekki staðið hjá lengur gagnvart svona óréttlæti og verið þögul lengur, þjóðir heimsins eiga að stoppa að koma svona fram við hælisleitendur frá Afganistan
Enough is enough! Dozens of Afghan asylum seekers have been killed in Iran this year and yet no one has spoken about it. The only crime they did was having a different nationality. And today, once again, 14 Afghans have been burnt alive after Iranian police opened fire on their car they were travelling in. Not long ago, 45 Afghans were drowned after Iranian guards forced them into river. The Afghans workers were brought to the bank of the river, beaten, shot at and forced to jump in the river to go back to Afghanistan. Of 57 workers who were forced into the river by Iranian security forces, only 12 managed to survive. The investigations on this matter has gone nowhere and no one was hold responsible for this horrific act of tyranny.
There are approximately 2.5 Million Afghan immigrants in Iran and every day they have to deal with this kind of discrimination on a daily basis. Our Afghans that live there essentially have no choice, no one leaves their country with no justification. These are just the incidents that we are made aware of, surely much worse things are happening to Afghan refugees which are not put out.
It is not only Iran, Afghan refugees in Pakistan too have always been subjected to violence, segregation, murder and racism. In addition, Afghan refugees have been withheld the very essential human rights in Turkey, Greece and other countries and many have lost their lives. Even though the situation in Afghanistan is getting worse every day, members of EU such as Norway, Denmark, Sweden, Germany and more are still deporting Afghan asylum seekers back to Afghanistan and putting more lives in danger.
We cannot witness this injustice and remain silent anymore, the world should stop this way of treating refugees from Afghanistan.
دیگر بس است. تعداد زیادی از پناهندگان افغان امسال در ایران کشته شده اند و هیچ اهمیتی داده نشده است. تنها گناهشان داشتن یک ملیت متفاوت بوده است. و حال دوباره در جنایت وحشتناک و غیر انسانی دیگری موتر حامل چهارده مهاجر افغانی توسط پلیس ایران مورد شلیک گلوله قرار گرفته و آتش گرفته است. و نه چندان قبل چهل و هفت نفر توسط مرزبانان ایران به رود انداخته شدند. کارگرها افغان به کناره ی رودخانه آورده شدند و بعد از لت و کوب آن ها را به زور به رود انداختند. دوازده نفر از این حادثه جان سالم به در بردند و بقیه ی افراد در آب غرق شدند. تحقیقات در این مورد به هیچ جایی نرسید و کسی مورد باز خواست قرار نگرفت. عدالت کجاست؟
دو و نیم میلیون مهاجر از افغانستان در ایران زندگی می کنند که هر روز و در کوچکترین ظوابط اجتماعی مورد نژادپرستی، زورگویی و تبعیض قرار می گیرند. هموطنان ما از ناچار و اجبار در ایران مهاجر شده اند و اکثریت آن ها انسان هایی خوب و درستکار هستند. این ها تنها حوادثی هستند که ما از آن ها مطلع می شویم، مطمئنا جنایات زیادی هر روزه بدون رسانه ایی شدن در ایران اتفاق می افتد.
نه فقط در ایران بلکه در پاکستان نیز پناهندگان افغان مورد خشونت، تبعیض، کشتار و نژادپرستی قرار می گیرند. به علاوه مهاجران افغان در کشور های ترکیه، یونان و کشور های دیگر از حقوق ساده و اولیه بشریت منع شده اند. با این حال و با توجه به اینه شرایط افغانستان هر روز بدتر می شود، کشور های عضو اتحادیه اروپا از جمله نروژ،سوئدن،دانمارک،آلمان و غیره هنز هم مهاجران افغان را دیپورت می کنند و زندگی های بیشتری را با اینکار به خطر می اندازند.
ما دیگر نمی توانیم این طور برخورد را تحمل کنیم و ساکت بمانیم، تمام کشور های جهان باید اینگوه رفتار را با مهاجرین متوقف کنند

There will be drinks at the bar and Dj Sigrun Skafta will bring the beat in. Loft Hostel is accessible and everyone is welcome to join the celebration!
Evening basic introduction course into the art of Shibari.
Shibari is the japanese word for “to tie” and nowadays stands for japanese rope bondage and it´s different forms.
Tying with rope can be done and experienced on many different levels and will always depend on your own preferences and intentions as well as the partner you are tying with.
FRIDAY 24. july (19:00–22:00)
Last 101 course was sold out and there is only space for 10 couples (or 20 people) So sign up if you don’t want to miss out!
It is no problem to come as a single person as most of the basic techniques can be practiced on yourself. Single persons can pair up with other single persons if everybody consents to it and negotiates their boundaries.
Please respect each other and each others personal space!
