Anarchism, Democracy and the Icelandic Constitution
In 2012 Iceland embarked on a process of rewriting its national constitution. Unlike many examples around the world where countries renew or change their constitutions, this was to be a ‘crowd-sourced’ constitution, with the people of Iceland having a more direct and participatory role in how the new constitution was to look. This discussion workshop will reflect on that process and ask what it means for something a process like writing a constitution to be genuinely democratic. How can people be actively involved? What barriers are there stopping certain people from taking part? How can those barriers be overcome. Drawing on anarchist ideas of democracy, the workshop builds on discussions with activists and others in Iceland to explore what it would take for participatory democracy to work properly.
The workshop takes place in English (interpretation by request) and is hosted by Dr. Thomas Swann:
“I completed my PhD at the University of Leicester School of Management in September 2015. Prior to that, I gained an MA in Social and Political Philosophy from Radboud University Nijmegen in 2010 and an MA in Philosophy from the University of Glasgow in 2008. My research has examined the connections between anarchism and organisational cybernetics, aiming to develop ‘anarchist cybernetics’ as a framework for understanding radical left social movement organisation. More broadly, this included looking at the nature of autonomy in anarchist organisation, the relationship between tactics, strategy and grand strategy and the ways in which communication can be understood in a radical left context. An important element of this work focused on the notion of alternative social media.”

Jamey Ellis would like to promote veganism as a synonym of compassion.
Join him for an open dialogue where he will introduce holistic veganism and it’s intersectionality with numerous other topics like humanitarianism, classism, sexism, racism, feminism, environmentalism, speciesism, and much more.
The goal of the night is not to convert people into veganism. It will be to provoke thoughts around ahimsa (non-violence) and compassion and having integrity in whatever it is you believe in.
Jamey defines holistic veganism as the practice of care for all living beings and their home environments, through the lenses of inter-being and intersectionality, with veganism as tool and philosophy that illustrates their actuality.
He has been vegan for 16 years and practices gift economy, unschooling, non-competition, sustainable consumerism and living, personal zero waste management, and other philosophical and practical tools to pursue and promote ahimsa towards each other and the planet.
The evening will begin with the dialogue at 6pm. At 8pm we will enjoy a vegan potluck. Bring your favorite dish to share and inspire others. If you can not come for the talk, then just come for the dinner.
This event is free, open to all people, and will be in English.

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.
Every other Sunday from 18:00-21:00 we meet to laminate books, bind together the ones that are out of shape, reorganize the categories and more.
A small dinner will be served by and for those who participate.

The building is currently not wheelchair accessible, unfortunately.
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.

The building is currently not wheelchair accessible, unfortunately, but it is our top priority to make it so. We are still waiting for a contract of use from the city that would permit us to change the building.

Andrými er opið föstudaga frá 12-20. Einn föstudag í mánuði er húsið opið aðeins fyrir trans fólk frá klukkan 17! Komdu við og nýttu það sem rýmið hefur upp á að bjóða! Helltu þér upp á kaffi eða te, kíktu í bókasafn anarkista, finndu þér eitthvað sniðugt í fríbúðinni eða notaðu aðstöðuna til að framkalla ljósmyndir, laga hjólið, smíða, gera og græja.
Það eru sjálfboðaliðar í húsinu á þessum tíma.
Börn velkomin.
Aðgengi:
Húsið er því miður ekki vel aðgengilegt fyrir hjólastóla í augnablikinu.
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.
Baðherbergin eru einungis á efri hæð og í kjallara eins og er. Bæði baðherbergin eru kynlaus.

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.
Every other Sunday from 18:00-21:00 we meet to laminate books, bind together the ones that are out of shape, reorganize the categories and more.
A small dinner will be served by and for those who participate.
