Opinn fundur fyrir fólk sem hefur áhuga á að kynna sér starf No Borders Iceland og langar að taka þátt. Fundurinn verður með óformlegum hætti þar sem einstaklingar sem eru virk innan hreyfingarinnar munu spjalla um hugmyndafræði, svara spurningum sem fólk gæti haft um starfið og ræða mismunandi leiðir sem hægt er að fara til að berjast gegn ofbeldi ríkisvaldsins, þá sérstaklega þeirri rasísku birtingarmynd sem snýr að farandfólki og fólki á flótta.
***
Open meeting for all those who are interested in No Border Iceland and want to possibly participate in actions and activities organised by the group. The meeting will be quite informal where individual currently active in the movement will talk about their ideological drive, answer any questions people attending the meeting might have and shortly explain different ways to get involved in the struggle against the state and its racist violence that is so bluntly exposed in its treatment of migrants and refugees.
No Borders Iceland kallar til and-þjóðhátíðardags fögnuðar 17. júní sem samanstendur af tveimur vinnustofum, kvöldmat og tónlist.
Sjá nánari upplýsingar um dagskrá og aðgengi neðst.
No Borders Iceland hafnar þeim gildum sem haldið er í hávegi á 17. júní á við þjóðarstolt, þjóðernishyggju og upphafningu þjóðríkisins.
Síðustu vikur höfum við verið vitni að uppreisn í hinum svokölluðu Bandaríkjum, þar sem fólk rýs upp gegn lögreglunni, og þar með ríkisvaldinu, með kröfu um endalok rasisma, hvítra forréttinda og lögregluembættisins. Barátta gegn þjóðríkinu og öllum kúgandi aðgerðum þess fylgir í beinu framhaldi.
Fyrir okkur er þjóðríkið ekkert annað en stofnun sem ber ábyrgð á mörgum af helstu grimmdarverkum sögunnar á við þrælahald og fjöldamorðum í hverri einustu heimsálfu. Þjóðríki bera ábyrgð á mannskæðustu stríðum sögunnar, þau hafa sett á laggirnar stofnanir á við herinn, lögregluna, réttarkerfið og fangelsi, stofnanir sem svipta fólk lífi, frelsi og reisn á kerfisbundinn hátt eftir línum sem fyglja stéttaskiptingu, húðlit, kynhneigð, -vitund og -tjáningu og sem og uppruna. Við teljum ríkið einnig vera einn af helstu þátttakendum í eyðileggingu jarðarinnar, þar sem einu sjáanlegu aðgerðirnar eru ofbeldi gegn þeim sem berjast gegn þessari sömu eyðileggingu.
Við álítum þjóðríkið vera miðstýrt og stigskipt stjórnmálakerfi sem byggir á valdbeitingu, þvingun og firringu. Undirstaða þessa kerfis er afnám á möguleika hvers einstaklings til að taka sjálfstæðar ákvarðanir um eigið líf, ásamt bælingu á hvers lags sjálfsskipulaggningu hópa og samfélaga. Hvort tveggja eru atriði sem ógna hinu miðstýrða, úthlutaða og stofnanavædda valdi ríkisins.
Við viljum skapa rými til að rækta andstöðu við ríkið og ofbeldi þess, sem birtist meðal annars í innilokun og brottvísun fólks á flótta, í staðinn fyrir að leyfa þjóðernishyggju og -fögnuði að taka yfir hvern krók og kima þann 17. júní.

No Borders Iceland is hosting an anti-state event on the 17th of june, the event will consist of workshops, a dinner and music.
See closer description of the program and accessibility below.
No Borders rejects values celebrated on the 17th of june, such as national pride, nationalism and the upheaval of the nation state.
Today we are witnessing an uprising in the so-called United States of America, where people are rioting and fighting against the police, and thus against the State, fighting for the end of racism, white supremacy and the police institution. Fighting the State is a parallel, interrelated fight.
We “lay at the State’s feet many atrocities. We consider it as the primary culprit for slavery and genocide on every continent, for the worst wars in human history, for mass incarceration and for the destruction of the planet. We define the State as a centralized, hierarchical system of political organization based on coercion and alienation, the primordial alienation being the theft of each individual’s ability to decide over their own lives, the suppression of self-organization so that power can continue to be centralized, delegated and institutionalized.” (P. Gelderlos, Worshiping Power)
Instead of letting nationalism and and national celebration take up every inch and corner in Reykjavík in the 17th of June, we hope to create a space for resistance against the nation state and it’s violence, which amongst other things appears in the deportation machine.
Program:
13:30 House opens, coffee, chill, prep
14:00- 14:45 Workshop: Supporting individuals going through the asylum system in Iceland, part 1
14:45-15:00 Break
15:00-16:00 Workshop: Supporting individuals going through the asylum system in Iceland, part 2
16:00-16:30 Coffee break
16:30-18:00 Discussions on anti-nationalism, anti-racism, racism and anarchism.
18:30 Dinner
19:00 Music
Andrými is not accessible to wheelchairs. More precise info on accessibility to be found here: https://andrymi.org/accessibility/
If you require or would like a sign language interpreter present, we kindly ask you to let the organisers know 48 hours in advance so that it can be arranged.
Friday 10 July
Café opens at 20:00
Discussion starts at 21:00
This time A-byssó presents Sisters in arms – Militant feminism in Germany.
Discussion and screening of the film Die Rote Zora tracing the herstory of the Rote Zora, a revolutionary feminist liberation movement in Germany active from 1975 until around 1995. By means of militant resistance, the group wanted to do away with all repression, be it directed at women or of a general nature. It did not see the use of force against women as exceptional but as a universal principle of domination. It thus linked the struggle against patriarchy and sexist violence with the struggle against social power relations and society in the Republic of Germany. It was not interested in obtaining power but in limiting authority to ultimately bring about a society without domination.
The group committed a series of bombing and arson attacks against our enemies, including individuals and organizations thought to be involved with sexism, the exploitation of women, genetic engineering, the enforcement of patriarchal society, nuclear power and the anti-abortion movement.
The film Die Rote Zora presents interviews with a few women of Rote Zora where they talk about their experiences, actions and ideas.
Discussions will be in English. The film is in German with English subtitles.
A-byssó café presents: Rizitiko by Venus Volcanism listening party
Venus Volcanism is the musician and electronic artist Rena Rasouli. Her first solo mini-album “Rizitiko’ was released this spring. She uses traditional folk songs of her native island Crete as a basis for this work. The album will be played through for the first time in Iceland and a music video for one of the songs will be screened. All money collected this evening will go to support imprisoned female anarchist fighters in Greece.
‘Rizitiko’ evolved from Rasouli’s thesis titled “the music performances based in traditional dialect focuses on the healing ability of sound”. The songs were created and sung by folk troubadours. Expanding on these oeuvres, Rasouli seized on the idea that the melodic use of voice is the oldest form of therapy in human culture. This primary and ritualistic material was intertwined with electronic and natural ambient soundscapes. The resulting compositions express the omnipresent sensations and emotions that play a key role in the healing process whilst communicating an intense connection to the collective unconscious. Traditionally sung by men there are numerous reasons to believe that many of the songs were initially created by women. To sing them in a female voice projects a different approach to the traditional rendition – one closer to that of a lullaby.
Café opens at 20:00
Video and album playing at 21:00
