Workshop on fish and shark // Fyrirlestur um fiska og hákarla
Mar 30 @ 10:00 – 13:00

An independent event organised by Sea Shepherd.

Workshop on fish and shark !

After the success of our first workshop on marine mammals Sea Shepherd Iceland has decided to continue this collaboration with scientists! The second workshop will be dedicated to fish and sharks.

Agenda :
Friday 29/03 : 19:00 to 20:00
Pr. Steven Campana : Shark bycatch complicates shark science, management and conservation

Saturday 30/09 : 10:00 to 13:00
Gotje Von Leesen : Impact of climate change on cod in Iceland (Maybe one more talk on fish stock management in Iceland)

This workshop is dedicated to Sea Shepherd members and other environmental activists in order to learn how to talk about fish and sharks, their roles in the marine ecosystems, their threats and about tools scientists can use to follow them.

This event is free of charge but, due to the limited seats available, prior registration is essential. Please contact us by email at iceland@seashepherdglobal.org or by sending us a message on messenger.

– Accessibility:
The building is currently not wheelchair accessible, unfortunately, but it is our top priority to cultivate a wheelchair accessible space. This is a continuing goal of the organizers of Andrými.

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), and the washrooms 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).
Both washrooms in the building are gender neutral.

Photo Gathering // Ljósmyndakvöld
Mar 30 @ 19:00 – 21:00

An independently organised event by the Darkroom Collective.

Hæ!
We would like to invite you all photography lovers (analog and digital), aspiring photographers and pro, to our monthly gathering at Andrými.

The idea is to have a place where photographers of any type can share their knowledge/work once a month with a bunch of other camera lovers.

This month’s theme is “Portraits”.

We encourage you to get some new shots in the next weeks or to look into your archive of pics and bring a couple of images, no matter the format. The aim of this exercise is to exchange opinions, points of view and share our knowledge.

Also, regardless the assignment, feel free to bring any material, gear etc. with you. Doubts, questions, ideas or thoughts for next meetings are very welcome as well.

Anarchist Library Reading Circle // Leshringur Andspyrnu
Mar 31 @ 18:00 – 19:30

Theme of the reading circles is the concept and reality of work.

Does work bind us or liberate us? What do we mean when we talk about work? How has capitalism affected our perception of work? What does government say about work? Can we destroy work? What would that even mean?

For 1st March we’ll read the article : Femonationalism and the “Regular” Army of Labor Called Migrant Women by Sara R. Farris

Reading material from earlier sessions are listed below:

Letter Writing to Trans (and Other) Prisoners 2: Transgender Day of Visibility
Mar 31 @ 18:00 – 20:30
Letter Writing to Trans (and Other) Prisoners 2: Transgender Day of Visibility

This is an independently organised event.

After a year, we are meeting for another letter-writing evening. Carrying on the tradition of the Anarchist Black Cross and other collectives as well as celebrating the Transgender Day of Visibility, we will meet and spend the evening in solidarity writing to trans prisoners. We will write to Chelsea Manning, Kanautica Brown, Marius Mason and others.

We focus especially on reaching trans prisoners as they are not only oppressed by the prison–industrial complex, but in addition also face omnipresent transphobia, transmisogyny, physical and sexual violence, frequent prolonged solitary confinement, and denied access to HRT.

At the same time you are absolutely welcome to use the space and time to write to people of your choice. It would be especially good if you have contact information for people in prison here in Iceland. You could for example write to Nara Walker, a woman imprisoned for 3 months for defending herself against her abusive partner (https://grapevine.is/news/2019/02/20/video-nara-walker-beings-prison-sentence-petition-for-pardon-surpasses-17000-signatures/). 

We will provide a short list of names and addresses (independent research is welcome!), guidelines on how to write to prisoners, envelopes, and a limited number of stamps. Bringing stamps and/or donating towards their cost is very welcome, as well as bringing pens and paper.

A short intro about a few well-known cases of trans prisoners and the situation in general will take place in the first 15-20 minutes. There might be a movie screening (TBA) as well.

This is a trans-focused event: everyone is welcome to attend, but please be aware of your behaviour and make sure you are not assuming anyone’s gender or pronouns and so are not reinforcing the casual transphobia around us.

Name/pronoun tags will be available.

Policing the stranger
Apr 2 @ 17:00 – 19:00
A lecture on how the police in Iceland was created and who created it, and what the role of immigrants into Reykjavík has been in sustaining Icelandic radicalism.
The lecture is based on a historical study of Icelandic policing and the history of UTL, and on the history of Icelandic labour, where immigrants have now rekindled class struggle in a coalition with the underpaid female workforce.

Samband byltingasinnaðra stéttafélaga og kjarasamninga

Ef þú hefur unnið á Íslandi hefur þú eflaust skrifað undir vinnusamning við atvinnurekanda og jafnframt heyrt undir kjarasamning í þeim atvinnugeira sem þú hefur unnið í. Flest fólk (sem og fagmenntað starfsfólk stéttafélaga) telja báðar samningsgerðir afar mikilvægar. En hvað standa þær virkilega fyrir? Hvað eru einstaklingar og stéttarfélög að koma sér saman um hvað varðar þessar samningsgerðir? Hvers konar samninga ættu byltingarkennd stéttarfélög að reyna að ávinna, eða ættu þau að skrifa undir samninga yfirhöfuð?

Collective Agreements & Labour Contracts, how revolutionary unions see them?

If you’ve worked in Iceland, most likely you’ve been covered by a labour contract between yourself and your employer, and simultaneously, by a far reaching Collective Agreement governing the industry in which you work. Most people (and professional union staff) see agreements of both types as very important. But what do these pieces of paper actually represent? What are individuals and unions agreeing to when they agree to be covered under these agreements? What kind of contracts should revolutionary unions struggle to win, or should they seek to sign contracts at all?
