Join us for a presentation and discussions on democracy, following an introduction to anarchism taking place the 14th of February.

Democracy is the most universal political ideal of our day. George
Bush invoked it to justify invading Iraq; Obama congratulated the
rebels of Tahrir Square for bringing it to Egypt; Occupy Wall Street claimed to have distilled its pure form. From the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea to the autonomous region of Rojava, practically every government and popular movement calls itself democratic.
And yet it was democracy that brought Donald Trump to power, not to mention Adolf Hitler.
What is democracy, precisely? How can we defend ourselves against democratically-elected tyrants? What is the difference between government and self-determination? Drawing on the latest book from the CrimethInc. collective, the presenters will explore these questions and more. Join us for a lively discussion!

Andrými is not wheelchair accessible at the moment. There are a few steps to enter the building and there are no toilets on the ground floor. They can be reached by more stairs either on the second floor or in the basement. We’re working towards making the space accessible.
The event will be in English. If you’d like a translation please send us a message.
We’d like there to be a good atmosphere in the space where people feel well. Please check out our Solidarity Statement here: https://andrymi.org/en/safer-space-policy-andrymi/

I don’t have any prior experience in teaching yoga to people with disabilities but I will do my best to help attendees to adjust poses that they otherwise could not do or point out poses/exercises that they can do instead.

Borgarbúskapur í þínu nágrenni // Urban farming in your vicinity
26. febrúar kl. 20 verða haldin erindi frá ræktendum í áberandi
matjurtagarðagörðum í Reykjavík. Vonandi gagnlegt fyrir þá sem hafa áhuga á að fræðast um skipulag og samvinnu á mismunandi stöðum og eins þá sem vildu taka þátt í núverandi verkefni.
Sérstaklega áhugavert væri að fá þá sem vilja fá innblástur að setja upp matjurtagarða í sínu hverfi. Ræktendur kynna reynslu sína og mögulega smita áhuga til annarra. Kostir þess að rækta grænmeti eru margir persónulega, ferskari og hollari matur, umhverfisvænni framleiðsla, heilbrigð útivera og að vera í samfélagi ræktenda og læra hvert af öðru.
Lilja Sigrún ræktandi í Laugargarði, er mikill hvatamaður innan
íbúatsamtaka Laugardals að auka áhuga á ræktun í hverfinu, en reynslu sína dregur hún fyrri árangursríkum grenndargörðum.
Guðný Rúnarsdóttir ræktandi í Seljagarð hefur prufað að rækta
ýmislegt, skemmtilegast fannst henni að sjá smátómata, kamillu,
sólblóm og gúrku vaxa í garðinum og það að vinna undir beru lofti og fara svo heim með uppskeruna.
Helga Helgadóttir ræktandi í Smálöndum við Stekkjarbakka nýtur
félagsskapsins við nágranna og friðsældarinnar við að rækta grænmeti með útsýn yfir Elliðaárdal.
Staðsetning er róttæka félagsrýmið Andrými við Bergþórugötu 20. Allir eru velkomnir og aðgangur frjáls. Andrými er nýflutt og því er aðgengi enn ábótavant fyrir hjólastóla. Erindin verða á íslensku en spurningar á öðru máli geta verið þýddar.
Vonum að sjá allt áhugafólk um borgarbúskap og ræktun grænmetis og mannlífs. Sigurður Unuson, formaður Seljagarðs er frumkvöðull að þessum fundi.

This will be a practice session for those interested in playing folk music. It’s aimed at those with some ability on their own acoustic instruments, but who don’t yet play traditional music or would like to learn more. We’ll usually mention a tune to prepare beforehand that we’ll go through together with someone who knows it well.
The event is only really accessible to those who can already play a little bit of music and have their own instrument (or can borrow one), but that should be the limit.
Andrými is unfortunately not currently wheelchair accessible.

Public meeting of the IWW Iceland: Introduction to radical unionism
The I. W. W. is the Industrial Workers of the World (sometimes called “the Wobblies”), a democratic, rank-and-file labor organization dedicated to building workers’ power on the job.
Are you interested in improving conditions in your workplace? Do you feel that you should have a say in important decisions concerning your life? Do you feel that democracy should not be limited to parliamentary elections every four years? Then please join us in IWW in a struggle for better lives and a better world!
Saturday March 3 we will have an open meeting in Andrými, an opportunity to get together and talk about situations in our lives and how we can together change things for the better. The meeting space is not currently wheel chair accessible. There is a children´s space if you would like to bring your children.

We are planning a women-trans-queer-only evening in Andrými the 8th March! We welcome all women; trans, intersex, and cis, as well as genderqueer and non-binary people who are significantly female-identified (women*). The event is open for this group only.
At 18:30 vegan dinner will be served (we welcome anyone who wants to come to andrými at 16:00 to help preparing the food!). We will celebrate the opening of a feminist section in the anarchist library (you are all welcome to bring books to donate) and will project photos of radical, powerful women from around the globe onto the walls of our communal space.
This communal space that is also a transnational (safer-)place for sharing and caring. There will be an open mic so please bring your poetry, instruments, stories and songs.
Later in the night DJ SunnaBen play so we can all bring our dance moves to the floor.
See you there!
