CANCELLED: Craftivism in public spaces / Hannyrðapönk í almenningsrými
Aug 21 @ 13:00 – 17:00

[English below]

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.

Accessibility

Outdoor event, therefore it’s wheelchair accessible.
Seating is limited to what’s in the garden already.

Sigrún hannyrðapönkari speaks Icelandic, English, Danish, Norwegian, Swedish and little of German and French. Therefore she can interpret as she helps with the embroidery.
Visual instructions will also be available.
The event is free of charge and all embroidery materials will be provided for, and also free of charge.

Open House: COVID-edition! / Opið Hús: COVID-útgáfa!
Aug 24 @ 16:00 – 18:00

{Íslenska fyrir neðan} Andrými Open Hours: COVID-edition!

Open Hours are back!

Do you feel like you need to get out of the house? Are you looking for a new book to read? Do you want to check out our freeshop full of clothes or are you just looking for a quiet place to work?

Come to the Open Hours! Because of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, we ask everyone to wear a mask while inside the house. Hand disinfectant will be available: please disinfect your hands when you arrive, before touching the books, etc. Only 10 people can be inside at a time and only 1 person in the Andspyrna Anarchist Library and 1 person in the Freeshop. 

There is a large room downstairs with tables, chairs, and armchairs; a kitchen where you can make tea or coffee; the library; freeshop; and two rooms upstairs: one with sofas and armchairs, and one with a table and chairs, ideal for working.

Looking forward to seeing you again!

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. The event takes place on the ground floor.

Andrými Opið Hús: Covid-útgáfan!

Opið Hús er tilbaka!

Finnst þér að þú þurfir að fara út úr húsinu? Viltu fá nýja bók til að lesa? Viltu skoða fríbúðina okkar eða þarftu rólegan stað til að vinna?

Komdu til Opins Húss! Vegna COVID-faraldsins biðjum við öll að vera með grímu inni í húsinu og spritta sig reglulega. Aðeins 10 einstaklingar mega vera í húsinu í einu og aðeins 1 á bókasafninu og 1 í fríbuðinni.

Það er stórt herbergi á niðri hæð með borð, stóla og hægindastóla, eldhús til að fá kaffi eða te, Andspyrna bókasafn, fríbúðin, og tvö herbergi uppi: eitt kosý herbergi með sófa og hægindastóla og eitt vinnuherbergi með borð og stóla.

Hlökkum til að sjá ykkur aftur!

Aðgengi:

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.

Trad Music Session // Þjóðlagasamspil
Aug 26 @ 18:00 – 22:00

This will comprise a learning session kl. 18-20, and an open session 20-22 – non-players welcome from 20 onwards. The learning session will be geared towards those who play instruments already, and want to learn more about styles of folk music and add to their repertoire.

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 event will be seated. Icelandic and English are available languages.

Free Supermarket
Aug 27 @ 17:30 – 19:00

In the free supermarket you can pick up all kind of food or you can also bring some food to the market.

In these hard times lets get together and make sure the most unprotected get the most basic foods and work together to achieve what the powers that be cannot and/or don’t want to.

There is also a free shop for clothes and other items.
Food donations and volunteers are always appreciated!
