Monthly workshop session led by members of Kvæðamannafélið Iðunn, the organisation set up to preserve and pass on the singing traditons of Iceland (see http://rimur.is/?page_id=367). The aim of the sessions is to learn, practise and share traditional Icelandic folk songs, for example tvísöngur. We will also welcome people from other singing traditions to share their songs. The sessions are open to all. No previous singing experience is necessary. Songs will be taught ‘by ear’, with some notation available for people who find it helpful.
We will make every effort to accommodate everyone who comes. In particular, we are aware that some people are nervous about singing in ‘public’ situations. We will make every effort to make the sessions welcoming and supportive of everyone attending.

The building is currently not wheelchair accessible, unfortunately, but it is our top priority to make it so. We are still waiting for a contract of use from the city that would permit us to change the building.
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.
Both washrooms in the building are gender neutral.
Trans-organised event, a safe space for trans & questioning people only. Nonbinary trans folks and intersex people who identify as trans are especially welcome to come!
Second Friday of every month5-9 PM (AND in the same week as the support group on second Tue of every month, if the weeks are different), the radical social space Andrými hosts an independently organised trans social — a non-structured drop-in time for trans and questioning folks to meet up and chat, use the resources in the house (anarchist library Andspyrna, printer, wood and bike workshop…), create art or organise. Great opportunity to make new friends and chat or to have a relaxing quiet time on your own.
This is a closed event — the whole house is reserved for the trans social.

As the whole house is reserved for the event, it is possible to be either in the library and a big meeting room downstairs (with tables and chairs) or upstairs in a room with low sofas or in a smaller room with a table and chairs (great for working).
In the last years the political theatre became a strong scene in Romania. This will be a short presentation about the radical political movement around the main theatre and art groups/spaces/magazines/platforms. The scene is growing bigger and its influences must be acknowledged. Art has to be instrumentalised!
Þessi viðburður er fyrir alla, hvort sem þú heldur upp á jólin eða ekki. Núna er tíminn til að fagna sólstöðum, góðum félagsskap, heitu súkkulaði, góðum mat og tilvist róttæks félagsrýmis í Reykjavík.
Eldhúshópurinn mun bjóða upp á einhvern mat (frá um 13:00) og við viljum einnig hvetja þá sem geta til að koma með mat til að deila með sér -> þetta er pálínuboð :heart:
Við opnum kl. 12 og fjölskyldur eru sérstaklega velkomnar. Vegan vöfflur og heitt súkkulaði verða í boði.
Um klukkan 13:00 hefst pálínuboðið og við borðum hádegismat saman.
Eftir getur þú verið áfram og haft það notalegt, notið útsýnisins og kannski horft á bíómynd. Eða njótið félagskapsins og spjallsins sem gerist í Andrými
Fundurinn á sér allajafna stað á ensku. Hafið í huga að tala hægt og skýrt svo sem flestir skilji sem best. Hægt er að setja upp þýðingu á staðnum, en enn betra er að senda okkur skilaboð áður svo við getum skipulagt það.

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.

This event is for everybody, no matter if you celebrate Christmas or not. It’s anyways time to celebrate solstice, good company, hot chocolate, tasty meals and the existence of a radical social space in Reykjavík.
The kitchen crew will provide some food (from around 13.00) and we also want to encourage those who can to bring a meal to share -> It’s a potluck :heart:
We open the doors at 12 and families are especially welcome. There will be vegan waffles and hot chocolate.
At around 13.00 the potluck will start and we will have lunch together.
Afterwards you can chose to stay and be cosy, maybe watch a movie or just enjoy the great company and conversations that happen at Andrými.
The meeting generally takes place in English. Keep in mind to speak clearly and slowly. Interpretations to other languages could be a possibility on the spot, but even better is to send us a message so that it can be organised beforehand.

American Buddhist monk Lama Erik Drew Jung at Andrými!
Come and join us for a cozy evening talk on Tibetan Buddhism with Venerable Bodhi Lama Erik Drew Jung, an American Buddhist monk of the Nyingma sect of Tibetan Buddhism. Lama Erik is a warm and engaging speaker who is on a European tour this month and is visiting Iceland for a week.
Bodhi Lama Erik Drew Jung grew up in Portland, Oregon and at an early age was introduced to Mahayana Buddhism by his father, a practitioner in the Nyingma School of Tibetan Buddhism. In 1990, he earned a bachelor degree from The Evergreen State College. In 1994, he received a licensure in acupuncture (Lic. Ac.) from the Worlsey Institute of Classical Acupuncture, and in 2000, a master degree in acupuncture from The Academy for Five Element Acupuncture.
Lama Erik first took refuge in the Three Jewels 1989 with H. H. The Dhali Lama, and in the spring of 2004 met his root teacher, Tibetan meditation master and thirty-third generation Dzogchen lineage holder, H.E. Dzogchen Khenpo Choga Rinpoche. He took refuge vows with Rinpoche that day, receiving the refuge name Orgyen Thabkey Dorje, and has served and studied closely with his Root Guru ever since.
Since 2004, Orgyen Thabkey Dorje has cumulatively spent more than three years in Dzogchen Buddha Path Retreats and Internships. He took monastic vows in 2008, and since 2010 has worked full time with the Dzogchen Lineage Translation Committee to help Rinpoche compose, translate, and edit the forthcoming Third Edition Buddha Path, along with many other Buddhist texts and sadhanas in English. As well, he has taught Buddhism widely across the U.S., and conducted many overseas teaching tours in Europe and Russia.

Almenn aðalfundarstörf, litið verður yfir starfsemi liðins árs og skoðuð dagskrá þessa vetrar.

General annual meeting issues: Overview of the work of last year and this year’s program planned and introduced.
In the second part of the meeting we want to screen a new documentary about permaculture as well as give an opportunity for people to introduce interesting projects connected to permaculture in Iceland.
An independently organised event by the darkroom collective.
Hæ! We would like to invite you all photography lovers to our second gathering at Andrými. We are a bit late in organisation but it’s all good, just a couple of points:
We chose a theme for the assignment of this month; Night. In this case due to the delay we encourage you to take a look into your archive of pics and bring a couple of images. The aim of this exercise is to exchange opinions, points of view and what not while having a discussion and feedback.
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!
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.
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.
