Fyrir 85 árum síðan áttu sér stað einar stærstu óeirðir íslandssögunnar, Gúttóslagurinn. Í uppþotunum 9. nóvember 1932 við fundarsal borgarstjórnarinnar í Góðtemplarhúsinu barðist verkafólk í bænum á móti lögreglunni og stjórnmálamönnum til að verja launin í atvinnabótavinnunni fyrir lækkunum.
Róttæki Sumarháskólinn og Andrými bjóða þér til að minnast þessa sögulega atburðar með okkur á fimmtudaginn. Pontus Järvstad mun flytja fyrirlestur um Gúttóslaginn. Hann mun tala um uppþotin og hvað leiddi til þessa dags. Hverjar voru afleiðingar þessara uppþota? Og hvernig hafa sagnfræðingar túlkað þessa atburði?
This is an event celebrating the 85th anniversary of an important moment in Icelandic labour history, when wage struggles culminated in the violent disruption of a city council meeting and running battles with police. Pontus Järvstad will explain this history. Live translation from Icelandic will be provided.

The aim of the reading group is to push the discussion about the relationship of arts, politics and activism forward. Another outcome is to entangle different circles interested in topics which are not necessarily connected like art-activism and housing problems, aesthetic quality of politics or interrelation between transferring symbolic value into surplus incomes. After attending to the meetings attendants should be equipped with new theoretical tools which can later enrich their own political, activist or artistic practice. The group can also work as a networking space ore concentrated on the interests of the participants than on the making deals. The main aim is to introduce theoretical approach both in arts and activism in order to provide new, surprising and unexpected ideas and more general approach based on ad-hoc political creativity. Another effect of the reading circle is to pose the question about using/occupying art spaces to enrich political debate.
Paris is Burning (1990) verður sýnd á fyrsta kvikmyndakvöldinu sunnnudaginn 26. nóvember.
*** Paris is Burning (1990) will be the first screening of movie nights, sunday 26th november.
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.
