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

Pete Walker’s Complex-PTSD theory – What it is, how it works and ways to heal it
Pete Walker is an American psychotherapist who has specialised in the treatment of complex post-traumatic stress for over thirty years.
The lecture will mostly be based around his book ‘Complex PTSD – From surviving to thriving’ which outlines his theories about how CPTSD is formed, how it manifests psychologically, emotionally and interpersonally and his multi-dimensional approach to healing it.
This theory and it’s practical approach has been one of the corner stones in my own mental-emotional healing/growth for about 5 years and I want to share it’s main contents as well as some of my own experience with this work.
The purpose of the event is mainly to create space for education and discussion, not group therapy.
Some of the topics discussed will most likely be emotionally charged and potentially triggering for many people and I will do my best to make everybody feel as safe as possible. For example by stressing the importance of speaking from ones own experience and avoiding assuming other people’s experiences.
Among the topics discussed will be:
Trauma, triggers, emotional flashbacks, emotional violence, abusive/neglectful/dysfunctional parenting and family dynamics, different types of trauma responses, toxic-shame, guilt, anger, rage, grief and grieving, healing.
Andrými includes a small bike workshop in the basement with tools and used spare parts. Once a week (currently Mo, 17-20) we help you repair your bike. Since the rooms are of limited size, only two people can work there simultaneously. Therefore please sign up at https://pad.riseup.net/p/andrymibike
beforehand. (If date or time between this calendar and the pad differ, the pad is correct.) If you come without notification you might or might not get help and it is likely that you have to repair outside. (Might be cold!)
If you want to get in contact with us, write an e-mail to bike@andrymi.org.
A donation for the rent of Andrými, tools and spare parts are not required but appreciated as the finances including the rent of Andrými are based on donations.
If you would like to help at improving the workshop or helping others, please contact us and visit Andrými as well! All of Andrými including the workshop depends on the activity of volunteers.
If you are familiar with Andrými and want to offer bike repair help, add more dates into the sign-up pad.
Limitations:
The tool selection of the bike workshop is not complete, therefore there are problems that we cannot solve. There are (almost) no new spare parts available. You might have to buy new parts elsewhere. The person helping you is not a professional so there is no guarantee on any tipps or help s/he is giving. On rare occasions it can also happen that the bike is broken even more afterwards. A workshop can be dangerous. You work at your own risk. Be careful and only use machines on your own that you know well.
Bring more time than you expect, repairing always takes longer than you think. We try to open the workshop as reliable as possible but since it’s based on volunteer work we not always be available.
