Andrymi Cafeteka open house / opið hús
Feb 27 @ 18:00 – 21:00

Andrými started as a community gathering around a free dinner – for all to have access to warm food and connection with people in town. The focus was to create a space where refugees and migrants could meet locals and each other, get out of our private, alienating lives, and become more collective beings.

Since Andrými secured a house, it has come to shelter a lot of activities – meetings of different grassroots groups, people organising and mobilizing for a better society, an anarchist library, a kitchen for all, different events focused on skill sharing or socializing.

Once we got into a rhythm, Andrými stopped being a specific group, becoming rather a place that is open for all that want to get involved and organize within it. Nonetheless, we acknowledge that sometimes we have to get together for freshideas and untapped energy to spring up. So this is a call for people that are curious, open to learning how to run a space together in a direct, democratic way. For people that want to open up their hearts towards processes that promote inclusion and the creation of safer spaces for all.

You can find more information about the values of Andrými here: https://andrymi.org/what-we-stand-for-2/

—–

The event will take place between 18-21.

At 18.30, there will be a short house tour and a presentation for those coming to the space for the first time. The main room will be arranged as a cosy cafetek (coffee and tea) – so you can read a book from the anarchist library in the house, chat over a warm cup with old or new friends, organise your creative ideas with others, form interest groups, get to know people, and provide further help with Andrými’s organisation.

The space is yours as long as you take care of it <3

 

Icelandic translation: 

Hafiðið áhuga á Andrými og langar ykkur í að taka þátt í það með öðrum? Eruðið með eitthvað hugmyndar eða viljiðið stuðla að hugmyndum aðra sem eiga að vera í rýminu? Viljiðið passa rýmið og hjálpa með því að hafa samband við samfélög og fólk sem myndu hafa gott af Andrými?

Á fimmtudögum önnur hver vika, við ætlum að opna húsið að bjóða fólki að hittast. Komiðið með óskar, spurningar og þarfar þínar, með vinum eða einn/ein/eitt, og sjáum til hvað við getum gert saman!

Andrými byrjaði sem samkoma um kvöldmat fyrir alla til þess að njóta heits mats og tengingar við fólk í bænum. Áherslan var að byggja rými þar sem flotta- og farandverkafólk gætu hitt heimafólk og hvort annað á meðan við slepptum við einangrunu og fráhverfingu í lífunum okkar, og á sama tíma þróast í frekar sameiginlegt fólk.

Síðan Andrými samdi um húsnæði, mörg hafa komið til að nota húsið — mismunandi grasrótahópar halda funda, fólk er að skipuleggja og virkja fyrir betra samfélag, anarkísta bókasafn er til, eldhús fyrir alla, og mismunandi viðburðir með áherslu á leiknisamnýtingu eða bara tækifæri til að gera eitthvað skemmtilegt.

Eftir við komast inn í hlutina, Andrými var ekki lengur sérstakur hópur, varð frekar staður sem er opinn fyrir alla til að taka þátt og þróa hugmyndar þeirra. Samt viðurkennum við að stundum þurfum við hittast til að bjóða óheyrðum/ferskum skoðunum. Þetta er kall til þeirra sem eru forvitin, til í að læra að reka svona pláss saman á beinan, lýðræðislegan hátt. Fyrir þau sem langar í að styðja aðferðir fyrir meðtalningu og öryggisrými, verið velkomin.

Upplýsingar um gildi Andrímis finnst hér: https://andrymi.org/is/gildi/

Viðburðurinn stendur á milli kl. 18 til 21.

Á kl. 18:30 verður stútt hússýningu og kynningu fyrir þau sem koma til Andrýmis í fyrsta sinn. Aðalherbergið verður raðandi upp sem kósý kaffihús (kaffi og te). Verið velkomin að fletta bók frá bókasafninu, rabba saman með eitthvað heitt, skipuleggja skapandi hugmyndar með öðrum, búa til áhugahópa, kynnast fólki, og taka þátt í Andrými.

Rýmið er þitt eins lengi og þú passar það <3

Tónlistasamspil / Folk Session
Feb 27 @ 20:00 – 23:45
This is one of the weekly sessions for folk music in Reykjavík – there will be drinks provided and all donations collected will go to funding Andrými. If you know what a session is, come and bring songs and tunes (if you have them)! If not, read on.
 
This session is the only one currently in Iceland but it’s a really common format throughout the English and Gaelic-speaking world and in lots of parts of Europe and probably lots of other places too. The idea is that people come with unamplified music and songs and dances and then do them with other people, usually in a common style. Because we are quite international, most commonly you’ll hear Irish music and songs, and also from Iceland, Scandinavia, Britain, North America and Europe.
 
These days (since the 1960s), usually a session will happen in a pub, or sometimes a house. It’s not like a concert because it’s not a performance and there’s not really an audience, though there are often people that just come to listen or chat and maybe join in with some singing if they’re feeling that way inclined. It’s also not like a jam session because there are set songs and tunes which all the people participating will know, or are learning. If you want to learn some of these, there’s lots to help you at https://www.facebook.com/groups/RVKsession.
 
If you don’t play or have a song to bring you’re more than welcome to come and hang out with your friends, and talking, drinking etc. is encouraged during the music – the more atmosphere the better. Sometimes everyone might be quiet to listen to a solo singer. Often you’ll be able to pick up the choruses to the songs and are welcome to join in.
 
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.

Femínísk sjálfsvörn – Feminist self-defence @ Háskóli Íslands
Feb 28 @ 19:00 – 20:30

***English below***

Föstudaginn 17. janúar 2020 kl 19:00 verður fyrsta æfing annarinnar í femínískri sálfsvörn haldin í íþróttasal Háskóla Íslands.

Salurinn er aðgengilegur hjólastólum.

Allar konur velkomnar sem og allt trans fólk (skráning í H.Í. er ekki skilyrði).

Æfingarnar eru lokaðar sís-karlmönnum.*
(*Sís-karlmaður er karl sem var úthlutað kyninu “strákur” við fæðingu, upplifir sig sem slíkan og er sáttur við það.)

UM ÆFIGNARNAR:
Femíníska sjálfsvörnin sem verður æfð er í anda Seito Boei aðferðarinnar og felur í sér líkamlega, munnlega, sálræna og tilfinningalega sjálfsvörn.
Æfingahópurinn hittist á hverjum föstudegi.
Annan hvern föstudag hittist æfingarhópurinn í íþróttahúsinu og æfir líkamlega sjálfsvörn. Föstudagana þar á milli hittist hópurinn í stofu O-105 (Oddi) á háskólasvæðinu og æfir munnlega, sálræna og tilfinningalega sjálfsvörn.

AÐGENGI Í O-105:
Í dyrunum er 3cm kantur. Dyrnar eru 84cm á breidd.
148m eru á næsta aðgengilega klósett í Gimli byggingu. Það er á sömu hæð og gott aðgengi þangað fyrir utan að það er leiðinlega langt.

AÐGENGI Í ÍÞRÓTTAHÚSI:
Enginn klefi fyrir einstaklinga sem vilja frekar nota nonbinary búningsklefa/sturtur. Þó eru ókynjamerkt klósett á efri hæðinni, en þangað er engin lyfta, einungis stigi.
Íþróttasalurinn sjálfur er á jarðhæð.

UM FEMÍNÍSKA SJÁLFSVÖRN:
Femínísk sjálfsvörn sker sig frá ‘venjulegum’ námskeiðum í sjálfsvörn að því leyti að hún fylgir ákveðnum femínískum gildum og markmið hennar mótast út frá þeim. Meðal markmiða femínískrar sjálfsvarnar er að:
– Hugsa gagnrýnt um og afbyggja félagsmótun kyns og stigveldi þess
-Efla samstöðu og styðja við þolendur/varnarfólk sem vilja byrja eða halda áfram með bataferli.
– Auka þekkingu á mismunandi birtingarmyndum ofbeldis, m.a. til að auðveldara sé að koma auga á það, tala um það og berjast gegn því.
-Þróa einstaklingsbundnar og hópatengdar aðferðir sem eru skilvirkar í að koma í veg fyrir ofbeldi.

Áhugasöm eru hvött til að koma með boxhanska og púða/padda á líkamlegu æfingarnar. En það er ekki skilyrði.

OPEN TRAININGS IN FEMINIST SELF-DEFENSE AT THE UNIVERSITY CAMPUS

Friday 17th of january 2020, the first training of feminist self-defense will be held at the university sports hall at 19:00.

The sports hall is accessible for wheelchairs.
//MORE EXACT INFO ON ACCESSIBILITY COMING THURSDAY 16th OF JANUARY//

All women and trans people are welcome (you don’t have to be a student at the University).
Cisgendered men are asked to keep out.*
(*A cis gendered man is someone who identifies as a man, and was assigned male at birth).

ABOUT THE TRAININGS:
The feminist self-defense method which will be followed is called Seito Boei. It includes physical, verbal, psychological and emotional self-defense.
The training group will be meeting every friday.
There will be physical trainings at the sportshall every second friday. The other fridays the group meets in a safer space to train verbal, psychological and emotional self-defense.

SOME GOALS OF THESE FEMINIST SELF-DEFENSE TRAININGS:
Provide each other with more options to choose from when using self-defense, by sharing a diverse range of strategies successfully used by people in real life situations.
Support victims/survivors/defenders to overcome isolation after assault and begin to heal
Expand our notions of what “successful self-defense” is and help each other appreciate all of the ways we keep ourselves safe.
Keep braking the stigma + myths around sexual and gender based assault/abuse so that we can talk about it, take action, and overcome it.

Those interested are encouraged to bring along pads and boxing gloves to the physical trainings. But it is not an obligation.

Lunch and crafts – welcoming art space
Mar 1 @ 15:00 – 17:00

Lunch and crafts is a 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!
If you have some tools and materials (old clothes, tshirts, caps etc. are also good), bring them, if not – we will share.
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 art 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 15:00
