Sea Shepherd Iceland will host several marine biologists to talk about marine mammals and how their protection is necessary to restore the oceans.This event is private. It is dedicated to Sea Shepherd members and other environmental activists to teach them how to talk about marine mammals, their roles in the marine ecosystems, their threats and about tools scientists can use to follow them.
Accessibility:The building is currently not wheelchair accessible, unfortunately, but it is our top priority to cultivate a wheelchair accessible space. This is a continuing goal of the organizers of Andrými.
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 other doors in the building).
Both washrooms in the building are gender neutral.
An independently organised event by the darkroom collective.Hæ! We would like to invite you all photography lovers (analog and digital), aspiring photographers and pro, to our monthly gathering at Andrými.
We chose a theme for the assignment of this month: Long exposure. We encourage you to get some new shots in the next weeks or to look into your archive of pics and bring a couple of images, no matter the format. The aim of this exercise is to exchange opinions, points of view and share our knowledge.
During the evening, we will have an introduction about the use of the different kind of filters you can bring with you on the field: Neutral density filters and Polarizer.
Also, regardless the assignment, feel free to bring any material, gear etc. with you. Doubts, questions, ideas or thoughts for next meetings are very welcome as well.
Let’s have a nice meeting and fun!

Sunnudaginn 24. febrúar klukkan 13:00 eru öll áhugasöm velkomin í Andrými þar sem við munum hittast til að fara yfir hvernig opna húsið gengur fyrir sig og taka á móti nýjum sjálfboðaliðum.
Andrými er með opnunartíma þar sem fólk getur litið inn, fengið sér kaffibolla, kynnt sér starfsemina og nýtt aðstöðuna utan við skipulagða viðburði. Opnunartímarnir eru mánudaga 17-20, þriðjudaga 13-18, föstudaga 12-20 og sunnudaga 10-13. Á sunnudögum eru börn og fjölskyldur sérlega velkomin.
Til að gera þetta mögulegt eru sjálfboðaliðar sem sjá um að opna húsið og eru fólki innan handar.
Skipulagið virkar þannig að þegar viðkomandi vill sjá um opna húsið er skjal þar sem hægt er að skrá sig á tiltekna tíma. Kannski viltu sjá um sunnudagsmorgna í þessari viku og svo taka að þér þriðjudaginn eftir tvær vikur? Eða kannski er ákveðinn tími sem hentar best og þú vilt sjá um opið hús alla þriðjudagseftirmiðdaga? Hvernig sem þú vilt!
Endilega kíkið við á sunnudaginn líka ef þið eruð ekki viss eða eruð bara forvitin ;). Þar verður fyrirkomulagið líka betur kynnt.
Aðgengi: Húsið er því miður ekki vel aðgengilegt fyrir hjólastóla í augnablikinu.
Það er eitt þrep við hliðið að garðinum og svo fimm þrep sem leiða upp að aðalinngangi. Hvert þrep er 17sm hátt. Breidd dyra í húsinu er á milli 50sm (dyr að baðherberginu á efri hæð) og 80sm (aðaldyrnar). Dyrnar að fundarherberginu eru 75sm á breidd eins og flestar aðrar dyr í húsinu.
Baðherbergin eru einungis á efri hæð og í kjallara eins og er. Bæði baðherbergin eru kynlaus.

Discussion about the creation of an alternative media in Iceland. The discussion will be in English in the presence of a member of a European alternative media federation.
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.

Combative unionism in Iceland: how well do the tools and methods of Industrial Workers of the World fit in Iceland?
Iceland has a highly regulated labour relations system with vast unions of workers and employers wielding elaborate networks of legal and bureaucratic weapons. The fundamental tools used for self-defence by workers, such as strikes and other job actions, are subject to legal overview by contracts and by government. How well do the tools and methods of the Industrial Workers of the World such as workplace committees, job actions, and popular participation in decision-making fit this scenario?
Dinner will be available. please contact the organizers for food concerns.

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.

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.

Baráttugleði í íslenskri verkalýðsbaráttu: hversu vel virka aðferðir Heimssamband verkafólks á Íslandi
Á Íslandi má finna stærðarinnar verkalýðsfélög sem eiga kost á að beita háþróðuðum lagalegum- og stjórnsýslulegum aðferðum. Þær grundvallaraðferðir sem verkafólk notar til þess að varnar sínum réttindum á borð við verkföll og aðrar vinnuaðgerðir, eru háðar samningum og vilyrði stjórnvalda. Hversu vel virka tæki og aðferðir heimssambands verkafólks á borð við nefnir á vinnustöðum, vinnuaðgerðir og lýðræðislega ákvörðunartöku í þessu vinnulandslagi?
Aðgengi:
Húsið er því miður ekki vel aðgengilegt fyrir hjólastóla í augnablikinu.

Combative unionism in Iceland: how well do the tools and methods of Industrial Workers of the World fit in Iceland?
Iceland has a highly regulated labour relations system with vast unions of workers and employers wielding elaborate networks of legal and bureaucratic weapons. The fundamental tools used for self-defence by workers, such as strikes and other job actions, are subject to legal overview by contracts and by government. How well do the tools and methods of the Industrial Workers of the World such as workplace committees, job actions, and popular participation in decision-making fit this scenario?
Dinner will be available. please contact the organizers for food concerns.

The building is currently not wheelchair accessible, unfortunately.

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.
