Extinction Rebellion is an international movement that uses non-violent civil disobedience in an attempt to halt mass extinction and minimise the risk of social collapse.
Come over if you would like to learn how to support other people in the space, react to conflicts, get to know more about the work in our solidarity teams during bigger events or better understand why we have created the space. If you already use the space, either organising within/with your group, either as a participant, you are even more encourage to get to know how to support other participants in the space and provide a safer space for all. Andrými is open due to you, then let’s get together and talk about (why is) our radical social centre in town 🙂 h
In other words – if you like andrými as it is and want to help us make sure that the people feel welcome, taken care of and safe here and on top of that – get some useful skills – drop in!
movie night: ‘Woman at War’ + open discussion / kvikmyndakvöld: ‘Kona fer í stríð’ + opin umræða
Let’s spend a good evening together and (re-)watch the controversial movie ‘Woman at War’ directed by Benedikt Erlingsson.
“Halla is a 50-year-old environmental activist who crusades against the local aluminum industry in Iceland. As her actions grow bolder, her life changes in the blink of an eye when she’s finally granted permission to adopt a girl from the Ukraine.”
it opened a lot of debates when it went out in 2018 so let’s keep the discussion alive, in a friendly way 😉
“to what extent should we fight for a cause?” “is the use of material destruction sometimes needed?” “are there any superior moral laws allowing us to sometimes disobey?”…
the boundaries between violence – non violence will be questioned as well as any other thoughts that may arise.
see you there! 🙂
the screening will be in icelandic, with english subtitles. the talk in english
the comfy room is for 15 people max so register preferably beforehand at osecollective@protonmail.com
*Accessibility
The building is unfortunately not wheelchair accessible.
There are bathrooms located on the upper floor and in the basement and both are gender neutral.
There is a room for child care on the second floor, for parents who would like to participate and come with their children.

{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.

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!

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.

During winter, once a week the Munasafn RVK Tool Library has a pop up at Andrými where members from the library can pick up or drop off the tools they have borrowed.
Its open to all members an non members to come and get us as well as learn about the principals of Circular Economy and how the sharing economy can help society.
The unique combination of breathing and meditation, based on years of experience…
Most people claim that when they engaged fully in the session they experienced magical inner calmness and accumulated stress dissolved.
The mind was completely silenced. Deep joy and happiness filled the whole being.
Thanks to regular practice you will be able to purify your energetic system and find the inner balance.
Thanks to connecting powerful breathing, senses withdrawal, and concentration it’s possible to experience “Meditative Absorption”.
This description is merely a peak of the iceberg 🙂
Come and experience it by yourself :))
We have regular weekly sessions on Wednesdays at 18:00.
PS. Please come punctually 🙂
Regular sessions are for all people of all ages. If someone cannot sit on the floor it’s perfectly fine to use a chair or even lay down.
The event will be held in English, however, if you need some guidance in Polish – feel free to ask. Everybody is welcomed.
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.
