holistic safety & legal rights in demonstrations // réttindi og öryggi í mótmælum
Sep 7 @ 11:00 – 15:00

An independently organised event hosted by Oktavia and Olga. NOTE: BOTH THE PROTEST ROOM AND THE LIBRARY ARE RESERVED FOR THE EVENT.

Partaking in demonstrations is a necessary act of societal participation. Doing so in a safer way and knowing your rights in Iceland is fundamental to any act of defiance.
During this workshop we will engage in safety in a holistic manner, digital, physical and most importantly psycho-social and self-care as well as get insight into the legal frameworks in Iceland that define what rights individuals have and what can be expected from law enforcement.

Accessibility:

Andrými is currently not accessible to wheelchairs, and challenging to access for people who have difficulties going up steps.

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 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). The event takes place on the ground floor. There is no bathroom on the ground floor.

Both washrooms in the building are gender neutral. Pronoun badges are available.

The library will serve as a space of calm for folx who need to minimize input (sound, light, people) and who need to be able to opt in and out of sessions. We will be able to have the workshop in multiple languages, English, Icelandic, Danish and basic Spanish. We will provide food and snack to make the space accessible to folx who have little leeway or space for extra budgetary considerations.

Anarchist library work session – Unnið í bókasafni anarkista
Dec 19 @ 19:00 – 22:00

Andspyrna’s makeover – tending to the anarchist library .

The anarchist library Andspyrna keeps growing with new books getting added almost every month. These are books that are rarely accessible elsewhere in Iceland so it is important to keep them in good shape for the rascals and rebels of today and tomorrow.

We will meet to first tidy up the library, tag any new additions, and then hopefully give some tender loving care to any books that might be slightly out of shape!

Feel free to bring snacks to share or your favourite playlist. Let’s spend a cosy evening together!

Lunch and crafts – welcoming art space
Feb 2 @ 13:00 – 15:00

Lunch and crafts is a new cyclic meeting program destined for everyone who would be interested in spending time with people while fulfilling themselves artistically. We will be hanging out every other Sunday at lunch time in Andrymi’s cosy room. It’s an occasion not only to do some crafts, but also to make new friends. Every meeting we will be focusing on different genre of art. If you have a creative mind, but you prefer to express it in a company of people, join us and let’s create together!
This week: knitting, embroidery etc. everything concerning yarn, wool, embroidery floss
If you have some tools and materials (old clothes, tshirts, caps etc. are also available), bring them, if not – we will share. If you would like to pursue any other genre of art, you are welcome to do that.

During meetings we will not only eat lunch and create together, it is also a chance for you to shine. If you would like to sing, read poetry or make out this time even more pleasant, you are welcome to come and use the space as a place of a free expression.

The goal is to destine products of our common work for future fundraising helping the cause of keeping Andrými alive and healthy. (But if you would like to make something only for yourself, that’s ok too!)

The meeting will take place on Sunday from 13:00/15:00 (approximately)

Þjóðríkið í ruslið - Abolish the nation state @ Andrými

***ENGLISH BELOW***

No Borders Iceland kallar til and-þjóðhátíðardags fögnuðar 17. júní sem samanstendur af tveimur vinnustofum, kvöldmat og tónlist.

Sjá nánari upplýsingar um dagskrá og aðgengi neðst.

No Borders Iceland hafnar þeim gildum sem haldið er í hávegi á 17. júní á við þjóðarstolt, þjóðernishyggju og upphafningu þjóðríkisins.

Síðustu vikur höfum við verið vitni að uppreisn í hinum svokölluðu Bandaríkjum, þar sem fólk rýs upp gegn lögreglunni, og þar með ríkisvaldinu, með kröfu um endalok rasisma, hvítra forréttinda og lögregluembættisins. Barátta gegn þjóðríkinu og öllum kúgandi aðgerðum þess fylgir í beinu framhaldi.

Fyrir okkur er þjóðríkið ekkert annað en stofnun sem ber ábyrgð á mörgum af helstu grimmdarverkum sögunnar á við þrælahald og fjöldamorðum í hverri einustu heimsálfu. Þjóðríki bera ábyrgð á mannskæðustu stríðum sögunnar, þau hafa sett á laggirnar stofnanir á við herinn, lögregluna, réttarkerfið og fangelsi, stofnanir sem svipta fólk lífi, frelsi og reisn á kerfisbundinn hátt eftir línum sem fyglja stéttaskiptingu, húðlit, kynhneigð, -vitund og -tjáningu og sem og uppruna. Við teljum ríkið einnig vera einn af helstu þátttakendum í eyðileggingu jarðarinnar, þar sem einu sjáanlegu aðgerðirnar eru ofbeldi gegn þeim sem berjast gegn þessari sömu eyðileggingu.

Við álítum þjóðríkið vera miðstýrt og stigskipt stjórnmálakerfi sem byggir á valdbeitingu, þvingun og firringu. Undirstaða þessa kerfis er afnám á möguleika hvers einstaklings til að taka sjálfstæðar ákvarðanir um eigið líf, ásamt bælingu á hvers lags sjálfsskipulaggningu hópa og samfélaga. Hvort tveggja eru atriði sem ógna hinu miðstýrða, úthlutaða og stofnanavædda valdi ríkisins.

Við viljum skapa rými til að rækta andstöðu við ríkið og ofbeldi þess, sem birtist meðal annars í innilokun og brottvísun fólks á flótta, í staðinn fyrir að leyfa þjóðernishyggju og -fögnuði að taka yfir hvern krók og kima þann 17. júní.

DAGSKRÁ:
13:30 Hús opnar, kaffi, tjill.
14:00-14:45 Vinnusmiðja: Hvernig á að styðja einstakling sem þarf að ganga í gegnum hæliskerfið á Íslandi? – Fyrri hluti

***ENGLISH ***
No Borders Iceland is hosting an anti-state event on the 17th of june, the event will consist of workshops, a dinner and music.

See closer description of the program and accessibility below.

No Borders rejects values celebrated on the 17th of june, such as national pride, nationalism and the upheaval of the nation state.

Today we are witnessing an uprising in the so-called United States of America, where people are rioting and fighting against the police, and thus against the State, fighting for the end of racism, white supremacy and the police institution. Fighting the State is a parallel, interrelated fight.

We “lay at the State’s feet many atrocities. We consider it as the primary culprit for slavery and genocide on every continent, for the worst wars in human history, for mass incarceration and for the destruction of the planet. We define the State as a centralized, hierarchical system of political organization based on coercion and alienation, the primordial alienation being the theft of each individual’s ability to decide over their own lives, the suppression of self-organization so that power can continue to be centralized, delegated and institutionalized.” (P. Gelderlos, Worshiping Power)

Instead of letting nationalism and and national celebration take up every inch and corner in Reykjavík in the 17th of June, we hope to create a space for resistance against the nation state and it’s violence, which amongst other things appears in the deportation machine.

Program:
13:30 House opens, coffee, chill, prep
14:00- 14:45 Workshop: Supporting individuals going through the asylum system in Iceland, part 1
14:45-15:00 Break
15:00-16:00 Workshop: Supporting individuals going through the asylum system in Iceland, part 2
16:00-16:30 Coffee break
16:30-18:00 Discussions on anti-nationalism, anti-racism, racism and anarchism.
18:30 Dinner
19:00 Music
