Eugene Imotu was deported to Nigeria and separated from his children last June, his family received the residence permit in Iceland two months later. He is now however asked to pay about 1.14 million Icelandic krona to the State (cost of his custody and detention by 4 police officers) before his case can be presented back to the immigration Office. A first event (a concert) was organized in January to start raising the money, the 24th of March we will organize a second fundraising event, family friendly, to help Eugene come back to his children. Come to have a good time at Andrými, there will be food and activities for the children.
The detailed program will be presented later.
This event will be vegan friendly.
…but what do you mean by “the Other”? i’d hear it frequently after gigs and performances; “that surely was something e l s e”. oh, was it? that’s like one ideal casual commentary. it doesn’t even imply neither negativity nor positivity. and yet, when we contact with an object from which we differ, it’s hardly ever neutral. but not in an easy dichotomic way – it’s tricky to decode. which assumptions were quick, which were not rooted in our own preferences? one can easily fall for hatred or fetishization of the Other. capitalist society made us all dive unconsciously into the perils of individualism early at our lives, where we swirl around neglecting and embracing our unclear otherness.
it needs contemplation and critique. self-critique, perhaps? that’s what on our (?) minds.
the music this night will be provided by Kinga Kozłowska (aka Teenage Lightning), Szymon Keler and Miłosz Cirocki (aka Niemy Dotyk). we will be playing collage DJ sets about our understanding of the notion of the Other. the political frame is obvious – we’re all Poles, semi-proud leaders of immigration, with basic Icelandic skills, and we are asking ourselves, how do we perceive our otherness here? but the metaphorical sense remains open to interpretation, and that’s what we invite you to.
The group is for sexual assault and violence survivors to come together and share their thoughts, feelings, and stories in a completely anonymous setting free of judgment. We aim to give survivors a safe space where they can talk freely.
We will have a trigger warning discussion before every event for people with trauma.
The event is open for survivors of all genders & sexualities.
Leikhús hinna kúguðu (LHK) byggir á aðferðum og tækni til valdeflingar kúgaðra hópa hönnuðum af Augosto Boal í Brasilíu á sjötta áratug síðustu aldar.
Því miður er ekki enn aðgengi fyrir hjólastóla í Andrými, en viðburðurinn er á fyrstu hæð og ekki nauðsynlegt að fara stiga eftir að komið er upp fyrstu 6-7 tröppurnar upp að húsinu. Ýmsar æfingar námskeiðsins krefjast þó töluverðrar líkamlegrar hreyfingar og hreyfanleika og salerni eru einungis í kjallara og á annarri hæð hússins, sem er lyftulaust. Námskeiðið fer fram á ensku.

Komið og spilið með okkur tungumálaleiki til að læra íslensku! Leikirnir verða á byrjendastigi og við munum passa upp á að allir geti tekið þátt, sama hvaða íslenskubakgrunn þeir hafa. Þetta verður skemmtileg leið til að kynnast öðrum sem eru að læra íslensku, og er einnig fyrir góðan málstað! Þátttökugjaldið er frjálst framlag sem getur verið hvaða upphæð sem er. Upphæðin mun renna í skólastyrk fyrir flóttamenn á Íslandi í gegnum samtökin okkar – Ratljós. Léttar veitingar, kaffi og te verður á boðstólnum, vona að sem flestir geti mætt!
Byrjar kl. 17.00
