A-byssó café
A self organized café for a community in struggle.
Friday 29.May
20:00
We dont need no authorities to tell us about social distancing. We are capable of taking care of ourselves and we are very used to keep our distance.
We distance ourselves from the state
We distance ourselves from society´s values
We distance ourselves from the dominant culture of wage-slavery and submission
This time Μπαχαλιαρος will choose music from around the Mediterranean and beyond.
accessibility:
Unfortunately the building is currently not wheelchair accessible but it is our top priority to make it so.
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, there are name tags and pronoun buttons by the entrance.
Opinn fundur fyrir fólk sem hefur áhuga á að kynna sér starf No Borders Iceland og langar að taka þátt. Fundurinn verður með óformlegum hætti þar sem einstaklingar sem eru virk innan hreyfingarinnar munu spjalla um hugmyndafræði, svara spurningum sem fólk gæti haft um starfið og ræða mismunandi leiðir sem hægt er að fara til að berjast gegn ofbeldi ríkisvaldsins, þá sérstaklega þeirri rasísku birtingarmynd sem snýr að farandfólki og fólki á flótta.
***
Open meeting for all those who are interested in No Border Iceland and want to possibly participate in actions and activities organised by the group. The meeting will be quite informal where individual currently active in the movement will talk about their ideological drive, answer any questions people attending the meeting might have and shortly explain different ways to get involved in the struggle against the state and its racist violence that is so bluntly exposed in its treatment of migrants and refugees.
Friday 10 July
Café opens at 20:00
Discussion starts at 21:00
This time A-byssó presents Sisters in arms – Militant feminism in Germany.
Discussion and screening of the film Die Rote Zora tracing the herstory of the Rote Zora, a revolutionary feminist liberation movement in Germany active from 1975 until around 1995. By means of militant resistance, the group wanted to do away with all repression, be it directed at women or of a general nature. It did not see the use of force against women as exceptional but as a universal principle of domination. It thus linked the struggle against patriarchy and sexist violence with the struggle against social power relations and society in the Republic of Germany. It was not interested in obtaining power but in limiting authority to ultimately bring about a society without domination.
The group committed a series of bombing and arson attacks against our enemies, including individuals and organizations thought to be involved with sexism, the exploitation of women, genetic engineering, the enforcement of patriarchal society, nuclear power and the anti-abortion movement.
The film Die Rote Zora presents interviews with a few women of Rote Zora where they talk about their experiences, actions and ideas.
Discussions will be in English. The film is in German with English subtitles.
A-byssó café presents: Rizitiko by Venus Volcanism listening party
Venus Volcanism is the musician and electronic artist Rena Rasouli. Her first solo mini-album “Rizitiko’ was released this spring. She uses traditional folk songs of her native island Crete as a basis for this work. The album will be played through for the first time in Iceland and a music video for one of the songs will be screened. All money collected this evening will go to support imprisoned female anarchist fighters in Greece.
‘Rizitiko’ evolved from Rasouli’s thesis titled “the music performances based in traditional dialect focuses on the healing ability of sound”. The songs were created and sung by folk troubadours. Expanding on these oeuvres, Rasouli seized on the idea that the melodic use of voice is the oldest form of therapy in human culture. This primary and ritualistic material was intertwined with electronic and natural ambient soundscapes. The resulting compositions express the omnipresent sensations and emotions that play a key role in the healing process whilst communicating an intense connection to the collective unconscious. Traditionally sung by men there are numerous reasons to believe that many of the songs were initially created by women. To sing them in a female voice projects a different approach to the traditional rendition – one closer to that of a lullaby.
Café opens at 20:00
Video and album playing at 21:00
