This is one of the weekly sessions for folk music in Reykjavík – there will be drinks provided and all donations collected will go to funding Andrými. If you know what a session is, come and bring songs and tunes (if you have them)! If not, read on.
This session is the only one currently in Iceland but it’s a really common format throughout the English and Gaelic-speaking world and in lots of parts of Europe and probably lots of other places too. The idea is that people come with unamplified music and songs and dances and then do them with other people, usually in a common style. Because we are quite international, most commonly you’ll hear Irish music and songs, and also from Iceland, Scandinavia, Britain, North America and Europe.
These days (since the 1960s), usually a session will happen in a pub, or sometimes a house. It’s not like a concert because it’s not a performance and there’s not really an audience, though there are often people that just come to listen or chat and maybe join in with some singing if they’re feeling that way inclined. It’s also not like a jam session because there are set songs and tunes which all the people participating will know, or are learning. If you want to learn some of these, there’s lots to help you at https://www.facebook.com/groups/RVKsession.
If you don’t play or have a song to bring you’re more than welcome to come and hang out with your friends, and talking, drinking etc. is encouraged during the music – the more atmosphere the better. Sometimes everyone might be quiet to listen to a solo singer. Often you’ll be able to pick up the choruses to the songs and are welcome to join in.
Accessibility:
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).

Both washrooms in the building are gender neutral.
A FREE-ENTRY experimental dragshow where performers try out new acts for a live audience. What will they do? Come find out!

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.

OPEN TRAININGS IN FEMINIST SELF-DEFENSE AT THE UNIVERSITY CAMPUS
Friday 17th of january 2020, the first training of feminist self-defense will be held at the university sports hall at 19:00.
The sports hall is accessible for wheelchairs.
//MORE EXACT INFO ON ACCESSIBILITY COMING THURSDAY 16th OF JANUARY//
All women and trans people are welcome (you don’t have to be a student at the University).
Cisgendered men are asked to keep out.*
(*A cis gendered man is someone who identifies as a man, and was assigned male at birth).
ABOUT THE TRAININGS:
The feminist self-defense method which will be followed is called Seito Boei. It includes physical, verbal, psychological and emotional self-defense.
The training group will be meeting every friday.
There will be physical trainings at the sportshall every second friday. The other fridays the group meets in a safer space to train verbal, psychological and emotional self-defense.
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.

Some of the groups organising in andrymi will be making t-shirt stencils for fundraising, so join us for a cozy evening of making cool new designs! We will have all material for making the stencils, but if you want to try printing on clothes, please bring your own or take a look at andrymi’s freeshop
Breakfast and crafts is a new cyclic meeting program destined for everyone who would be interested in spending time with people while fulfilling themselves artistically. We will be hanging out every other Sunday at 11:00 in Andrymi’s cosy room. It’s a ocasion not only to do some crafts, but also to make new friends. Every meeting we will be focusing on different genre of art. If you have a creative mind, but you prefer to express it in a company of people, join us and let’s create together!
This week: knitting, embroidery etc. everything concerning yarn, wool, embroidery floss
If you have some tools and materials (old clothes, tshirts, caps etc. are also vailable), bring them, if not – we will share.
During meetings we will not only eat breakfast and create together, it is also a chance for you to shine. If you would like to sing, read poetry or make out this time even more pleasant, you are welcome to come and use the space as a place of a free expression.
The goal is to destine products of our common work for future fundraising helping the cause of keeping Andrymi alive and healthy. (But if you would like to make something only for yourself, that’s ok too!)
The meeting will take place on Sunday from 11:00 to 13:00 (approximately)
Accessibility
The Andrymi house has it limits regarding accessibility. We are willing to meet any requests about improving accessibility or assisting anyone that asks.
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. The event takes place on the first floor.
Both washrooms in the building are gender neutral.
Monday, 27th of January at 18.00 we will provide a training to everyone interested in making andrými a safer space.
Come over if you would like to learn how to support other people in the space, react to conflicts, get to know more about the work in our solidarity teams during bigger events or better understand why we have created the space.
If you already use the space, either organising within/with your group, either as a participant, you are even more encourage to get to know how to support other participants in the space and provide a safer space for all. Andrými is open due to you, then let’s get together and talk about (why is) our radical social centre in town 🙂
In other words – if you like andrými as it is and want to help us make sure that the people feel welcome, taken care of and safe here and on top of that – get some useful skills – drop in
