On Accessibility:

The event is open for everyone but not so accessible to people in wheelchairs.

“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.”

Andspyrna’s reading circle will be held for the second time Sunday third of february. In our last session we read a marxist feminist text by Selma Jones and  Mariarosa Dalla Costa. We decided that for now the topic of our reading circle is the concept and reality of work, since it is one of the concepts that governs our everyday life and has a multitude of meanings. In later sessions we will explore the anarchist notion of the destruction of work and take a further look into a feminist analyses of work and capitalism.

In this upcoming session, however, we want to get a bit more familiar to Marx’s thought and are thus reading the introduction and first chapter of “How to read Marx?” by Peter Osborne.

Text source:
How to read Marx

Feel free to read further.

Discussions will be in English.

Closed meeting in the comfy room

Theme of the reading circles is the concept and reality of work.

Does work bind us or liberate us? What do we mean when we talk about work? How has capitalism affected our perception of work? What does government say about work? Can we destroy work? What would that even mean?

For 1st March we’ll read the article : Femonationalism and the “Regular” Army of Labor Called Migrant Women by Sara R. Farris

Reading material from earlier sessions are listed below:

• The power of women and subversion of community – Selma Jones and Maria della Costa
• How to read Marx – Peter Osborne

Flóttamenn á Ásbrú eru ósáttir við þá meðferð sem þeir sæta af hálfu útlendingayfirvalda á Íslandi og skipulögðu mótmæli í síðustu viku þar sem settar voru fram fimm meginkröfur sem bætt gætu aðstæður þeirra til muna.

Þetta er í fyrsta sinn í mörg ár sem flóttafólk frá mismunandi löndum tekur sig saman og berst fyrir kerfislægum breytingum hérlendis. Þau geta komist langt ein, en ennþá lengra ef við stöndum með þeim.

Á fundinum verður fjallað stuttlega um hælisferli á Íslandi og mögulegar stuðningsaðgerðir við flóttamenn á Ásbrú ræddar.

Kröfur þeirra eru:
1. Ekki fleiri brottvísanir
2. Efnismeðferð fyrir alla
3. Réttur til að vinna
4. Jafn aðgangur að heilbrigðisþjónustu
5. Lokun flóttamannabúðana á Ásbrú

Refugees in Ásbrú have had enough of how they are treated by the Directorate of Immigration and the Icelandic government. Therefore they held a big protest last week where they put forward five demands that could drastically improve their situation.

This is the first time in years that refugees from different countries come together and fight for systematic changes in Iceland. They can get far alone, but they could get even further if we stand beside them.

At the meeting on Thursday, we will talk shortly about asylum seeking process in Iceland as well as possible actions to support the refugees in Ásbrú

Their demands are:
1. No More deportations
2. Substantial review for everyone, no more dublin
3. Work permit and secure housing
4. Equal access to healthcare
5. Closing down of the refugee camp in Ásbrú
