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.
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.
The idea is to have a place where photographers of any type can share their knowledge/work once a month with a bunch of other camera lovers.
This month’s theme is “Light”.
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.
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.

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.

This will be our first meeting for discussing about the organisation of direct actions for Extinction Rebellion.
The idea is to bring suggestions together and create working groups, in order gather information from everyone about past actions, build new ones, and more generally, make things happen to reach out our fellow citizens!

On 1 May we all gather together at Hlemmur square as a radical block, we then walk to Laekjartorg at the rear of the march. During this march, we want to be heard/seen. For this we need visual aid.
A limited amount of materials are provided, but bring your own if you can. (e.g.: wood, fabric, paint, markers)
About 1 May:
IWW Ísland, Trans Ísland, No Borders Iceland, Refugees in Iceland, Róttæki Sumarháskólinn, Rauða Regnhlífin, Black & Pink Iceland and Innblástur Arkestra invites you to take part in radical May Day celebrations for an afternoon of solidarity, intersectionality and empowerment!
We want you to join us for a Radical and Intersectional International Worker´s Day! We fight not only for better wages and working conditions, we fight for the liberation of all of humanity and to put an end to the ecological destruction of our planet by capitalism. We fight for diversity, equality and justice, no matter what country you were born in, no matter your gender, no matter your sexuality! No one can represent us but ourselves, we fight for an end to bosses and politicians dominating us and making our lives miserable! We fight within ourselves to put an end to the rape culture and the racism that surrounds us!
The theme for this year is “Challenging the Social Contract”. The “social contract” is the belief that we must be thankful and accept the authority of our government and our bosses, it is the idea that we should not protest because it is rude, that we should accept conventions rather than challenge the social order, and it is the legal doctrine that prevent us from improving our work conditions and wages except by negotiations through representatives.
Here is the schedule of events:
13.00 – Forming a radical bloc on Hlemmur
13:30 – March last the MayDay procession down Laugavegur to Lækjartorg
14:00 – Gathering at Lækjartorg for free coffee, listening to different speakers
15:30 – Friendly get-together at Múltikúlti, at Barónsstígur 3, with waffles coffee, and music. Get to know likeminded radical people and make connections for a truly radical and intersectional struggle
