Friends’ Day Waffles (Feb 18)

On the Saturday after Friends’ Day we invite you to Lymy from 12โ€“4 pm to join us in a casual celebration of friendship, camaraderie and love. We will sell vegan waffles and coffee drinks including a spicy new seasonal specialty.ย ๐Ÿ˜ˆ

โ€œFriends do not share any โ€˜thingโ€™ (an emergence, a law, a place, a taste): they are always already shared through the experience of friendship. Friendship is the sharing which precedes all sharing because what it shares is the simple fact of existing, life itself. And it is this partition without object, this original consent that constitutes politics.โ€ โ€” Giorgio Agamben, Lโ€™amitiรฉ (2007)

Movie-based discussion series: Three perspectives on Ukrainian identity

We are proud to announce our movie-based discussion series ” Three perspectives on Ukrainian identity”

The series consists of three movies to be shown in Lymy 10.2, 3.3, 24.3.ย 

We start from the classic magic realist film that was made in 1965 by a genius, politically repressed director. The plot is based on the novel that tells a “Romeo and Juliet tale” of young Ukrainian Hutsul (ethnic group) lovers trapped on opposite sides of a Carpathian family blood feud.ย 

This movie will initiate the series of discussions, as this extraordinary piece gives us a chance to understand Ukraine from the perspective of ethnicity and ethnic habits that are still reflected in modern Ukraine.

The screening will start at 19.15

Lymy 7 Years Party (Nov 25)

Friends, Lymy turns 7 years and is thriving! We would like to celebrate this with all of you who have come together in Lymy: Acting, hiding, scheming, enjoying and sharing the lust for life in common.

Lymy’s 7-years party is on Friday Nov 25, at 18.00-21.00

We have a special request for the groups who use Lymy: we would be happy if you could say some words, a song, or any other performative element of your choice. It can be in relation to Lymy as a space, more broadly on autonomous spaces in Helsinki, or the situation of current political struggles.

Hope to see us many.ย 

xoxo,
Lymy
