IN/VERSE is an evening hosted by No Borders Iceland and Refuges in Iceland with the aim of creating a space for immigrants to express their experiences.
Various contributors of significant different backgrounds will show wide artistic expressions, always embracing the idea of connecting through the emotions that we all might share despite the disparity.
The event will open with a sharing of stories filled with poetry, texts and speeches of voices not so often heard in Icelandic society. An art exhibition will be accompanying all along this cosy evening for people to freely explore it: drawings, pictures, sculptures. There will be room for dialogue between contributors of In/verse and the audience as long as respect to their contributions is present, we want to encourage people to start conversations as if they would be part of the performance or simply to show how the sharing of it has moved them. And finally but not less importantly, the evening will be closed off by mesmerising music.
18:00 Doors Open
18:15 Speeches/Stories/Dialogue
20:00 Concerts:
Jelena Ciric
Flaaryr
21:00 Dj Set:
DJ Freky and DJ Wolf from the Ambient Karma Rock DJ collective from Reykjavík Cultural Cypher

Á viðburðinum IN/VERSE mun fjöldi þátttakenda frá mismunandi bakgrunni sýna fjölbreytta list með það að leiðarljósi að tengjast tilfinningalega sameiginlegri upplifun margra þrátt fyrir ójöfnuð.
Viðburðurinn opnar með sögusögnum, ljóðum og ræðu þeirra radda sem ekki oft fá að heyrast í íslensku samfélagi.
Listviðburðurinn mun innihalda teikningar, myndir og skúlptúra. Boðið verður upp á samræður á milli þátttakenda og áhorfanda og verða áhorfendur hvattir til að deila upplifun sinni með þátttakendum. Áhorfendur eru hvattir til að sýna virðingu og nærgætni. Kvöldið endar svo á heillandi tónlist.
Hannyrðapönk í almenningsrými, einnig kallað hannyrðagraff, er
jákvætt hreyfiafl fyrir nærsamfélagið. Grunnhugmynd hannyrðapönksins;
að hver og ein manneskja sem vill láta gott af sér leiða með handavinnu,
handverki og/eða hannyrðum sínum getur starfað undir formerkjum
hannyrðapönksins. Engrar grunnþekkingar er krafist.
Í þessari smiðju á Menningarnótt getur fólk lært grunnatriði útsaums og hvernig er
hægt að graffa almenningsrými bæði með nýjum og gömlum útsaumi og
þannig stuðla gegn sóun textíls með afturnýtingu.
Craftivism in public spaces, also known as yarngraffiti, is a positive way to activate and influence our community. Anyone can be a craftivist, no special skills are required. If you use your crafts as a form of activism, and for the greater good, you can call yourself a craftivist.
In this short workshop on Menningarnótt you’ll learn the basic skills of embroidery and how to use yarn and upcycled textiles as a form of graffiti in your community.

SEEDS’ volunteers are planning a garden clean-up at Andrými this Friday morning.
The tasks include: cleaning the garden, adding new soil to certain spots of the garden, planting bee-friendly flowers, watering, etc.
The plan is to meet there at 10.00 am for a couple of hours. The more, the merrier!
We will have some gardening tools available, but please bring your own as well!
