This will comprise a learning session kl. 18-20, and an open session 20-22 – non-players welcome from 20 onwards. The learning session will be geared towards those who play instruments already, and want to learn more about styles of folk music and add to their repertoire.
If you know what a session is, come and bring songs and tunes (if you have them)! If not, read on.
This session is the only one currently in Iceland but it’s a really common format throughout the English and Gaelic-speaking world and in lots of parts of Europe and probably lots of other places too. The idea is that people come with unamplified music and songs and dances and then do them with other people, usually in a common style.
Because we are quite international, most commonly you’ll hear Irish music and songs, and also from Iceland, Scandinavia, Britain, North America and Europe. These days (since the 1960s), usually a session will happen in a pub, or sometimes a house. It’s not like a concert because it’s not a performance and there’s not really an audience, though there are often people that just come to listen or chat and maybe join in with some singing if they’re feeling that way inclined. It’s also not like a jam session because there are set songs and tunes which all the people participating will know, or are learning. If you want to learn some of these, there’s lots to help you at https://www.facebook.com/groups/RVKsession
If you don’t play or have a song to bring you’re more than welcome to come and hang out with your friends, and talking, drinking etc. is encouraged during the music – the more atmosphere the better. Sometimes everyone might be quiet to listen to a solo singer. Often you’ll be able to pick up the choruses to the songs and are welcome to join in.

Wradical Riting #1 – ‘Your own nazi nation’ (Think Tank) /// Þín eigin nasistaþjóð – barnabók fyrir fullorðið fólk sem ætti að vita betur
For this first session of Wradical Riting we will take on a hot topic issue and find ways to make it into an accessible create-your-own-adventure childrens book.
The name of the childrens book ‘ Your own nazi nation’ refers to the idea of icelandic legislation being heavily influenced and based in nazi ideology.
We will try to tackle and dismantle the concepts of what people generally imagine with naziism coming from the outside as a threat and represent the nazi aspects from within the system in the hope of exposing laws and protocol that institutions like the police and UTL follow that should not be condoned or be dismissed as normal procedure by decent human beings.
In this first of many workshops we will take on the issue of talking about an issue that most would want to avoid and lay it down in simple childlike terms so that people may engage in the conversation from a ground level.
The aim is not to end up with a piece of work that is aimed at children but an informative piece of work with a childlike approach to a serious cultural issue.
We hope to see as many of you as possible. It is not neccessary to have writing skills or even to have any interest in writing at all. Of course if you have other skills they are more than welcome and can be incorporated into the project in many ways. The main thing is to have a conversation and open up our minds and voices for a better and more aware community.
Hope to see you all.
Best regards
The Wradical Riting team

Safer space training for anyone who wants to independently use Andrými’s space.
Do you want to be able to open Andrými for drop-in hours, organize events or hold meetings in the house?
This safer space workshop goes over what the responsibilities that come with opening the house and taking care of the space are. A short overview of key values and guidelines will be followed by a discussion about possible scenarios and solutions as well as a walk-through of the house.
Especially aimed at those who want to hold their events or meetings in Andrými without the need for a buddy. This workshop is required for holding events in the space as well as for having access to the house.
The training takes place in English. Please make sure you come on time 🙂

Wradical Riting #1 – ‘Your own nazi nation’ (Think Tank) /// Þín eigin nasistaþjóð – barnabók fyrir fullorðið fólk sem ætti að vita betur
For this first session of Wradical Riting we will take on a hot topic issue and find ways to make it into an accessible create-your-own-adventure childrens book.
The name of the childrens book ‘ Your own nazi nation’ refers to the idea of icelandic legislation being heavily influenced and based in nazi ideology.
We will try to tackle and dismantle the concepts of what people generally imagine with naziism coming from the outside as a threat and represent the nazi aspects from within the system in the hope of exposing laws and protocol that institutions like the police and UTL follow that should not be condoned or be dismissed as normal procedure by decent human beings.
In this first of many workshops we will take on the issue of talking about an issue that most would want to avoid and lay it down in simple childlike terms so that people may engage in the conversation from a ground level.
The aim is not to end up with a piece of work that is aimed at children but an informative piece of work with a childlike approach to a serious cultural issue.
We hope to see as many of you as possible. It is not neccessary to have writing skills or even to have any interest in writing at all. Of course if you have other skills they are more than welcome and can be incorporated into the project in many ways. The main thing is to have a conversation and open up our minds and voices for a better and more aware community.
Hope to see you all.

This session is the only one currently in Iceland but it’s a really common format throughout the English and Gaelic-speaking world and in lots of parts of Europe and probably lots of other places too. The idea is that people come with unamplified music and songs and dances and then do them with other people, usually in a common style.
Because we are quite international, most commonly you’ll hear Irish music and songs, and also from Iceland, Scandinavia, Britain, North America and Europe. These days (since the 1960s), usually a session will happen in a pub, or sometimes a house. It’s not like a concert because it’s not a performance and there’s not really an audience, though there are often people that just come to listen or chat and maybe join in with some singing if they’re feeling that way inclined. It’s also not like a jam session because there are set songs and tunes which all the people participating will know, or are learning. If you want to learn some of these, there’s lots to help you at

If you don’t play or have a song to bring you’re more than welcome to come and hang out with your friends, and talking, drinking etc. is encouraged during the music – the more atmosphere the better. Sometimes everyone might be quiet to listen to a solo singer. Often you’ll be able to pick up the choruses to the songs and are welcome to join in.
