Laura Secord/Brött Brekka and friends
Jan 23 @ 19:30 – 23:30

Laura Secord and Brött Brekka each released a new album at the end of 2019 and now it is time to celebrate and have a big concert.

Take place in IÐNÓ

Also playing: BSÍ and K.óla!
All great bands. Lots of fun. Get off yr butt and come on down.

Proceeds from the show will go toward counselling services for LGBTQ+ youth at Samtökin 78.

Laura Secord and Brött Brekka are two of the most exciting rock bands ever to come out of Reykjavik. They are a lot of fun to see live and their albums are really good, so you should definitely come to the show and support a good cause and then when you have all that fun, buy an album. Yes, indeed.

Samtökin ’78 is an NGO dedicated to the interest and rights of lesbian, homosexual, bisexual, asexual, pansexual, transgender and intersex people in Iceland. We think the counselling they do there is awesome and deserves our support.

Opin æfing í femínískri sjálfsvörn – Feminist self-defense
Jan 24 @ 19:00 – 21:00

***English below***

Föstudaginn 17. janúar 2020 kl 19:00 verður fyrsta æfing annarinnar í femínískri sálfsvörn haldin í íþróttasal Háskóla Íslands.

Salurinn er aðgengilegur hjólastólum.
//NÁNARI UPPLÝSINGAR UM AÐGENGI KOMA INN 16. JANÚAR//

Allar konur velkomnar sem og allt trans fólk (skráning í H.Í. er ekki skilyrði).

Æfingarnar eru lokaðar sís-karlmönnum.*
(*Sís-karlmaður er karl sem var úthlutað kyninu “strákur” við fæðingu, upplifir sig sem slíkan og er sáttur við það.)

UM ÆFIGNARNAR:
Femíníska sjálfsvörnin sem verður æfð er í anda Seito Boei aðferðarinnar og felur í sér líkamlega, munnlega, sálræna og tilfinningalega sjálfsvörn.
Æfingahópurinn hittist á hverjum föstudegi.
Annan hvern föstudag hittist æfingarhópurinn í íþróttahúsinu og æfir líkamlega sjálfsvörn. Föstudagana þar á milli hittist hópurinn í öruggara rými á háskólasvæðinu og æfir munnlega, sálræna og tilfinningalega sjálfsvörn.

UM FEMÍNÍSKA SJÁLFSVÖRN:
Femínísk sjálfsvörn sker sig frá ‘venjulegum’ námskeiðum í sjálfsvörn að því leyti að hún fylgir ákveðnum femínískum gildum og markmið hennar mótast út frá þeim. Meðal markmiða femínískrar sjálfsvarnar er að:
– Hugsa gagnrýnt um og afbyggja félagsmótun kyns og stigveldi þess
-Efla samstöðu og styðja við þolendur/varnarfólk sem vilja byrja eða halda áfram með bataferli.
– Auka þekkingu á mismunandi birtingarmyndum ofbeldis, m.a. til að auðveldara sé að koma auga á það, tala um það og berjast gegn því.
-Þróa einstaklingsbundnar og hópatengdar aðferðir sem eru skilvirkar í að koma í veg fyrir ofbeldi.

Áhugasöm eru hvött til að koma með boxhanska og púða/padda á líkamlegu æfingarnar. En það er ekki skilyrði.

ABOUT THE TRAININGS:

SOME GOALS OF THESE FEMINIST SELF-DEFENSE TRAININGS:
Provide each other with more options to choose from when using self-defense, by sharing a diverse range of strategies successfully used by people in real life situations.
Support victims/survivors/defenders to overcome isolation after assault and begin to heal
Expand our notions of what “successful self-defense” is and help each other appreciate all of the ways we keep ourselves safe.
Keep braking the stigma + myths around sexual and gender based assault/abuse so that we can talk about it, take action, and overcome it.

Those interested are encouraged to bring along pads and boxing gloves to the physical trainings. But it is not an obligation.

Femínískur bölmóður / Feminist Swearing Night @ LOFT HOSTEL
Jan 30 @ 20:00 – 22:00

IN LOFT HOSTEL, Bankastræti 7, 101 Reykjavík.

What the #$&%*! would you like to get off your chest?

Do you ever feel like society isn’t exactly what it should be? Are you tired of certain aspects of it? Do you just feel like cursing and smashing the patriarchy?

This open-mic event offers an opportunity to sound off about patriarchy, politics, inequality and injustice. Participants are free to do this through sharing their personal stories, rhymes, general rants or any other means of expression. All languages welcome. Free entry.

The night is moderated by the feminists Silja and Viima the who will also swear at the patriarchy. They oversee an event concept refined by the Finnish feminist think tank Hattu. Iceland’s first Feminist Swearing Night took place in August 2019 and it was arranged in collaboration with Hattu. We hope to make this a tradition in Iceland as well.
