Challenges of activists in Israel/Palestine
Jan 25 @ 17:30 – 19:30

A main goal of settler-colonial regimes is to enclose indigenous communities within Bantustans, walls, barriers, borders and checkpoints, turning them into refugees within their own territory. Various narratives and myths have been used by colonizers to justify taking over the so-called ‘virgin land of wilderness’, at the expense of the native population that has been inhabiting the area for centuries. Ethnic cleansing, genocide and transfer are still a means to an end, while technological advancements have been playing their role in executing such inhumane policies for decades.

Recently (11 January 2019) it was reported that Elbit Systems, which develops high-tech weapons for the Israeli army, sold its SkyStriker lethal drone to Azerbaijan. This state-of-the-art drone carries a 5kg warhead and can fly at a speed of up to 300 knots (555 kmph). Such advance weapons are often used disproportionately by powerful states against stateless groups, with little fear of retribution, and drone-strikes are still justified by politicians in the name of ‘the war on terror’ by arguing that they are both extremely accurate and keep the soldiers safe.

Considering this, what are the challenges that human rights activists are facing in a place like Israel and Palestine? What motivates them? And which lessons may we learn from the successes of the activists of the past, such as the ones who struggled against the apartheid regime in South Africa?

We will watch the first 25 min from the film “five broken cameras” followed by a 20 min talk and then we will open it for a discussion.

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.

Anarchist library work session – Unnið í bókasafni anarkista
Feb 10 @ 18:00 – 21:00

Andspyrna’s makeover – tending to the anarchist library .

The anarchist library Andspyrna keeps growing with new books getting added almost every month. These are books that are rarely accessible elsewhere in Iceland so it is important to keep them in good shape for the rascals and rebels of today and tomorrow.

Every other Sunday from 18:00-21:00 we meet to laminate books, bind together the ones that are out of shape, reorganize the categories and more.

A small dinner will be served by and for those who participate.

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!

Sjálfboðaliðafundur /// Drop-in volunteer meeting
Feb 24 @ 13:00 – 14:00

Viltu vera í sjálfboðaliðateymi Andrýmis sem heldur utan um Opið hús?

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.

Do you want to be a part of Andrými’s volunteer team that takes care of the Community drop-in hours?
Sunday 24th of February at 1pm everybody who’s interested is welcome in Andrými where we’ll meet to introduce how the drop-in works and welcome new volunteers.

Andrými has opening hours or drop-in where people can stop by, have a coffee, get introduced to the space and use the facilities outside of organised events. The drop-in hours are Mondays 7-20, Tuesdays 13-18, Fridays 12-20 and Sundays 10-13. Children and families are especially welcome on Sundays.

To make this possible there are volunteers who open the house and are present during this time.
The setup works in the way that there’s a document where you can fill in your name at the times you’d like to take care of the drop-in. It can be varying; this week you’d like to to Sunday and two weeks later you want to do Tuesday or you can have a fixed time f.x. every Tuesday afternoon. It’s up to you!

Come by on Sunday even if you’re unsure or just curious ;). The set-up will be further introduced there.
