Hinsegin fólk og heimilisofbeldi – Queer people and domestic violence @ Norræna húsið
Mar 7 @ 13:30 – 14:30

HVAR?/WHERE?: Norræna húsið/Nordic house

Svandís Anna Sigurðardóttir, sérfræðingur í hinsegin og jafnréttismálum á mannréttinda-og lýðræðisskrifstofu, kynnir samstarfsverkefnið Saman gegn ofbeldi frá árinu 2018 og framhaldið af því verkefni, en það er fyrsta og eina sinnar tegundar á Íslandi.

Saman gegn ofbeldi verkefnið þjónaði því hlutverki að kortleggja heimilisofbeldi gegn hinsegin fólki og hvernig betur mætti þjónusta þann hóp.

Vinsamlegast athugið að viðburðurinn fer fram á íslensku, ensku og íslensku táknmáli. Aðgengi er fyrir hjólastóla. Viðburðurinn er hluti af opinni dagskrá aðalfundarhelgarinnar og því ekki nauðsynlegt að vera félagi til að taka þátt.

Svandís Anna Sigurðardóttir, LGBTQ+ and Equality Advisor, presents the project Together against Violence, the only of its kind in Iceland.

Together against Violence (2018) is a project by Reykjavíkurborg and the Icelandic Police, which details the problem and possible solutions to domestic violence faced by queer people in Iceland.

Please note that the event is in Icelandic, English and Icelandic Sign language. The space is wheelchair accessible. The event is part of the open program of the Annual General Meeting, and therefore it is not necessary to be a member to attend.

SKIPULAGT AF: Landssamtökin Geðhjálp

HVAR? Íslensk erfðagreining, 

Liggur svarið í náttúrunni?

Framsaga og umræður um mögulega framtíð vitundarvíkkandi efna í geðheilbrigðisþjónustu – haldið í sal Íslenskrar Erfðagreiningar í Vatnsmýri fimmtudaginn 12. mars nk. Frá kl. 15:00 til 18:30.

Frummælandi er dr. Robin Carhart-Harris forstöðumaður rannsóknarseturs um vitundarvíkkandi efni hjá Imperial College í London. Robin hefur undanfarin ár leitt rannsóknir á vitundarvíkkandi efnum við háskólann. Eftir hann hafa birst á 6. tug vísindagreina um viðfangsefnið. Hann stýrði m.a. umfangsmikilli rannsókn á notkun psilocybin við alvarlegu þunglyndi og var heimildamyndin Magic Medicine gerð um þær rannsóknir.

Auk Robin munu innlendir fagaðilar halda erindi auk þess sem notendur lýsa reynslu sinni. Í lokin sitja þátttakendur í pallborði þar sem málþingsgestir geta spurt spurninga. Endanleg dagskrá liggur fyrir í byrjun febrúar og verður kynnt hér á viðburðinum og í fjölmiðlum.

Frítt inn—en frjáls framlög til Andrýmis vel þegin

Á árunum 1978–1985 stóð Ted Kaczynski, fyrrum stærðfræðiprófessor, einsamall fyrir sprengjuherferð gegn fólki innan úr bandaríska tæknigeiranum; þrír létu lífið & 23 særðust. Hvaða erindi á Kaczynskisem gefið hafði akademískan feril upp á bátinn fyrir einfalt líf úti í náttúrunni—í kaleidóskópíska frásögn af netheimum & hryðjuverkum, útópíustjórnmálum & amerískri andmenningu, LSD & CIA, sálfræðingnum Timothy Leary & eðlifræðingnum Heinz von Förster, rithöfundinum Ken Kesey & síkadelísku rokkhljómsveitinni Grateful Dead?

Um miðbik 20. aldar kom fram á sjónarsviðið herskari hugsuða vopnaður nýjum uppgötvunum í tækni & vísindum, stýri- & kerfisfræði, margmiðlunarlist, hernaði & sálfræði, sem áttu eftir að hafa gríðarleg áhrif á flestum sviðum mannlegrar tilveru. Samhliða örri þróun internetsins á síðasta fjórðungi 20. aldar vöknuðu upp áleitar spurningar um áhrif takmarkalausra framfara í upplýsingatækni á náttúru & samfélag. Í óhefðbundinni & ögrandi heimildamynd sinni skoðar Dammbeck þessa sögu & tvinnar saman við bréfaskipti sín & lífstíðarfangans Kaczynskis.

The Net, Documentary by Lutz Dammbeck (2003)
English & German (with English subtitles), 115 minutes

Sunday March 15th 2020—8:00 p.m.
Andrými—Bergþórugata 20—101 Reykjavík
Free entrance—but feel free to donate a bit for Andrými’s rent

From 1978 to 1985, former math professor Ted Kaczynski ran a lone-wolf bombing campaign, targeting individuals from within the U.S. techno-industry—of whom three died & 23 were injured. Where does Kaczynski—who had turned his back to an academic career for a simple life in rural Montana—fit into a kaleidoscopic narrative, including the internet & terrorism, utopian politics & American counter-culture, LSD & CIA, psychologist Timothy Leary & physicist-philosopher Heinz von Förster, author Ken Kesey & psychedelic rock-group Grateful Dead?

In the mid-20th century, a network of thinkers came forth with new discoveries in science & technology, cybernetics & systems theory, multimedia art, psychology & military research—affecting all spheres of human life. With the development of the internet during the last quarter of the 20th century, the question arose: What does the unlimited development of information technology mean for nature & society? In his unorthodox & provocative documentary, Dammbeck examines this story—interweaving it with his & Kaczynski correspondence.

Eating Disorder Presentation and Discussion
Jul 3 @ 18:00 – 20:00

Eating Disorder Presentation and Discussion / Framsetning og Umræða um Átröskun / Presentación y Discusión sobre el Trastorno Alimentario

The presentation (in English) will explain the underlying cause of eating disorders, and will also discuss the diet industry and recovery. The main themes are science and oppressive forces. The presentation does not include personal stories or graphic images (there is a trigger warning for one slide with non-graphic, Instagram-type images).

The discussion will not be a personal story-share/support group, but you can find the host afterwards if you’d like to talk more about support.

This is open to people with and without eating disorders.

This event is not the place to invalidate people with eating disorders or argue with anti-diet information.

 

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.

“There’s Something in the Water”: Fundraising Movie Screening
Sep 15 @ 19:00 – 20:30

“In Canada, your postal code determines your health.”

Environmental racism has defined so-called Canada since its very beginnings. Indigenous and Black communities are at much higher risk of health problems caused by toxic industries taking over their communities and land without their consent.

This event is a fundraiser for the Mi’kmaq water protectors on Shubenacadie River and all proceeds will go to them (https://stopaltongas.wordpress.com). Recommended donation is 2000 ISK but no one will be turned away.

There are going to be snacks, drinks, chaga tea, and a screening of Ellen Page’s movie “There’s Something in the Water.” The film premiered at TIFF in 2019 and is based on the book There’s Something In The Water: Environmental Racism in Indigenous & Black Communities by Ingrid Waldron. There will be a short introduction about some of the most notorious cases of environmental racism in Mi’kma’ki, such as the Alton Gas salt cavern project or the Pictou Landing pulp mill pollution, before the movie.

You can watch the trailer here:

Andrými is not accessible to wheelchairs. There are two gender neutral washrooms in the house, both only accessible by stairs. Wide variety of seating will be available (chairs, pillows, armchairs). If you have any accessibility or other concerns, don’t hesitate to contact me on blue1211[at]riseup.net. More detailed info on accessibility to be found here: https://andrymi.org/accessibility/ 

Dinner will be vegan — please let me know if you have any allergies or dietary needs. The movie will be screened in English with English subtitles.
