Femínísk sjálfsvörn / Feminist Self-Defense
Aug 15 @ 17:00 – 20:00

**THIS EVENT IS CLOSED TO CIS MEN**

Hinsegin gegn kúgun // Queers Against Oppression

An introduction to feminist self-defense (a talk and a short training). No previous experience necessary!

Gender based violence is a prevailing form of oppression towards women and queer people alike (although there are fundamental differences in the way women and queer-identified people get attacked).

Slagtog is a queer-feminist collective which has for a goal to train feminist self-defence.

We reject the idea that practicing self-defence means taking the responsibility away from the perpetrators of violence. It is not the responsibility of the attacked to stop or prevent an aggression, but that doesn’t mean we are not capable to or shouldn’t try to defend ourselves when it comes to it.

We believe that the repeated propaganda about our own powerlessness and incapability to defend ourselves is a patriarchal schema that society uses to keep us from resisting.
And for those of us who do resist, society doesn’t hesitate use its law to deem us guilty of violence.

holistic safety & legal rights in demonstrations // réttindi og öryggi í mótmælum
Sep 7 @ 11:00 – 15:00

An independently organised event hosted by Oktavia and Olga. NOTE: BOTH THE PROTEST ROOM AND THE LIBRARY ARE RESERVED FOR THE EVENT.

Partaking in demonstrations is a necessary act of societal participation. Doing so in a safer way and knowing your rights in Iceland is fundamental to any act of defiance.
During this workshop we will engage in safety in a holistic manner, digital, physical and most importantly psycho-social and self-care as well as get insight into the legal frameworks in Iceland that define what rights individuals have and what can be expected from law enforcement.

Accessibility:

Andrými is currently not accessible to wheelchairs, and challenging to access for people who have difficulties going up steps.

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 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). The event takes place on the ground floor. There is no bathroom on the ground floor.

Both washrooms in the building are gender neutral. Pronoun badges are available.

The library will serve as a space of calm for folx who need to minimize input (sound, light, people) and who need to be able to opt in and out of sessions. We will be able to have the workshop in multiple languages, English, Icelandic, Danish and basic Spanish. We will provide food and snack to make the space accessible to folx who have little leeway or space for extra budgetary considerations.

Lunch and crafts – welcoming art space
Feb 2 @ 13:00 – 15:00

Lunch 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 lunch time in Andrymi’s cosy room. It’s an occasion 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 available), bring them, if not – we will share. If you would like to pursue any other genre of art, you are welcome to do that.

During meetings we will not only eat lunch 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 Andrými 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 13:00/15:00 (approximately)

Share onion seeds / Deilum fræjum af lauk
Feb 18 @ 16:00 – 19:00

Deilum fræjum af lauk / Share onion seeds

Við pöntum saman fræ, kynnumst Vistræktarfélagi Íslands og notum tækifærið til að læra hvort af öðru. / We order seeds together, get to know The Icelandic Permaculture Association and use the day to learn from each other.

Grunngildi vistræktar eru: gætum jarðar, gætum fólks og skiptum rétt. / Ethics of Permaculture are: earth care, people care and fair share.

Við gætum fólks m.a. með því að að versla við eigendarekin fyrirtæki eins og Johnnys seeds og gerum einstaklingum kleyft að rækta lauka gerða fyrir norðlægar breiddargráður. / People care
by shopping with employee-owned companies like Johnnys seeds and allow people to grow onions for northernly latitudes.

Við gætum jarðar m.a. með því að skapa þekkingarsamfélag um ferla náttúrunnar, ein besta leiðin er að sá fræjum. / Earth care by creating a knowledge community about cycles of nature, one of the best ways is to sow seeds.

Við skiptum rétt með því að styðja við verðmæta samkomustaði, þess vegna fer hluti því sem fólk borgar fyrir fræin til Andrýmis. / Fair share by supporting valuable social spaces, therefore a part of the price of the seeds goes to Andrými.

 

Upplýsingar um aðgengi í andrými

Andrými er flutt í nýtt húsnæði á Bergþórugötu 20. Húsið er því miður ekki aðgengilegt fyrir hjólastóla í augnablikinu en það er mikið forgangsatriði hjá okkur að gera fyrstu hæð hússins aðgengilega sem fyrst. Teikningar af húsinu eru komnar til arkítekts sem er að vinna í teikningu af rampi og aðgengilegu klósetti svo við getum sent þær til Minjastofnunar í umsagnarskyldu og svo til borgarinnar.

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.

Baðherbergin eru einungis á efri hæð og í kjallara eins og er.
Bæði baðherbergin eru kynlaus.
