8th march movie screening and discussion
Mar 8 @ 20:00 – 21:30

//English below//

Slagtog, hópur um femíníska sjálfsvörn, ætlar að sýna heimildarmyndinda Mutantes (Punk Porn Feminism) eftir franska rithöfundinn og feministann Virginie Despentes.

Tilefnið er 8. mars, alþjóðlegur baráttudagur kvenna en einnig er viðburðurinnn ætlaður sem mótsvar við þeirri gífurlega hatursfullu orðræðu í kringum kynlífsvinnu á Íslandi.

Eftir á verða umræður.


Slagtog, a collective of people who practice feminist self-defence,  is hosting a movie projection the 8th of march, the international women’s day. The movie shown is Virginie Depentes’ “Mutantes (Punk Porno Feminism)”, a documentary about what has been called by some sex-positive feminism. One reason for the choice of this movie is the excessive amount of anti-sex work discourse we hear in the Icelandic feminist circles.

After the movie we will share some reading and have discussions.

Fjölskyldudagur/ Family afternoon
Mar 10 @ 13:00 – 16:00

Every second Sunday of the month from 13:00-16:00, the social space Andrými is open especially for families. Our house and garden at Bergþórugata 20 has a long and wonderful history as a kindergarten. Come with your kids to explore and play!

Each time there’ll be a fun activity for children such as drawing, singing, music or crafts. There will be tea and coffee for parents/caretakers, and snacks for the kids. You are welcome to bring food for your family, or to share. If someone in your family has special needs (accessibility, safety, allergies, etc.), please let us know and we will do our best to make the space and activities safe and enjoyable for everybody.

Please note that the afternoons are not a day-care center, and parents or caretakers are responsible for their children at all times.

The next family afternoon will be on the 10th of March and we will be doing crafts. Looking forward to see you.

Trans Support Group (closed event for trans/questioning folks)
Mar 19 @ 19:00 – 22:00

English-speaking trans support group meets the third Tuesday of every month in Andrými (Bergþórugata 20, 101 Reykjavík) 7-10 PM.

Do you want to share your experiences or to find out information about trans related healthcare, information resources or legal processes here in Iceland? Do you want to find support to organise a trans specific event? Would you simply like to relax and have a casual chatty evening and drink tea without the pressure of misgendering and cissexist assumptions? Come to the meeting!
Tea, coffee, zines & revolution.

This is an unprofessional trans-organised group intended for trans and questioning individuals* of all ages, not (cis) family members or allies.

*This means that trans women, non-binary/genderfluid people, trans men, and people questioning their gender identities of all ages are all very welcome! The group is not intended exclusively for foreigners but English is the main language of communication because trans people not fluent in Icelandic are already disadvantaged in accessing care and community support. Of course, if everyone present feels confident speaking Icelandic, the meeting can also be in Icelandic.

The structure of the meetings and discussions is very free and based on everyone’s preferences and needs. If you have an idea you’d like to discuss or any questions related to the support group, please don’t hesitate to send me an e-mail at transsupportgrouprvk@riseup.net.

Name + pronoun tags are available. Washrooms in the space are gender-neutral. The event is meant to be accessible to people with various levels of fluency in English. The entire house is booked for as much privacy as possible.

FB event here. Note: Comments and the event itself is public, but the participant list isn’t visible. It seems like your facebook friends might be able to see you’re going/interested though!

Andrými space is unfortunately currently not accessible (we are working on improving that as soon as possible). 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 doors in the building).

The meeting is held on the second floor, but can be moved downstairs in case it’s easier to access for someone, just let me know in advance! It is always possible to leave the room anytime, and there is a quiet room just next door. There are both soft, quite low, sofas and chairs to sit on. Andrymi has water, tea, and coffee for everyone.

GUIDING PRINCIPLES
–  Privacy.
What is said in the room stays in the room. We should not to assume that others go by the same name/pronouns/identity outside the group. We don’t take photos during the meetings.

– Mindfulness that everyone’s journey is different.
There is no hierarchy of being “more genuine” or “more trans,” and our journeys as well as goals and aspirations can be very different. We should always try to speak from personal experience (“I feel…,” “I am affected by…”) instead of speaking on behalf of others.

– Inclusivity.
I want to offer support for as much of the trans umbrella as possible. Trans women, trans men, gender fluid, gender queer, non-binary, dual/multi gender, and those questioning their gender identity – and anyone else seeking support for gender identity. Intersex people who identify as trans are especially welcome!

It’s always really nice and empowering to speak to other trans people and spend time together – this event is meant to make you feel more confident and calmer, not the opposite! Feel free to e-mail me if you have any questions/concerns/anything else that would help you to come to the meetings.
