UN/FOLDING_RE/FOLDING_FOLDED: Imiphindo kwaXhosa is a practice-led podcast project by Siviwe James that unfolds as a sonic archive and a site of return. Through a series of intimate audio-visual encounters, the podcast explores the fold as both method and metaphor in African fashion—inviting listeners into the sensory, spiritual, and social lives of garments, rituals, and everyday cultural gestures.

Bonus: Incoko nomboniso kuGatyana
On the 25 August 2023, the production team for UN/FOLDING_RE/FOLDING_FOLDED: Imiphindo kwaXhosa returned kuGatyana to the co-authors and their community for a listening session. The day exceeded all expectations, turning the simple efforts of a creative research project into a regenerative and reparative experience for a community to SEE AND HEAR FROM THEMSELVES. Supported by the Willowvale Arts Center Manager, Lukhanyo Muluse and Curator and Arts Practitioner Azola Krweqe, the podcast listening session brought attention to the Center, 'inspiring the community anew of its value in grounding cultural and communal dialogues and activities. Located on the outskirts of this small town, the Center serves as a creative focal point. Established in 2008 by the Department of Sports, Arts and Culture the uniquely designed building supports artists from Willowvale and the Mbhashe local municipality by introducing innovative methods of fostering creative economies that respond to the sensibilities of the surroundings, and cater to its local communities.  Lukhanyo expressed the impact of the podcast project, “I would like to extend my gratitude to you for choosing the Willowvale Art Centre as a space to involve the community of Willowvale. The contemporary art scene in South Africa is not one that is easy to navigate, it is filled with inequalities that leave black and marginalized people on the outskirts. This is felt tenfold at Centre because it exists within a community that battles with challenges such as inadequate service delivery, minimal support from those in power, challenges around rural development, and arts and culture always taking the backseat.  Even though these challenges exist and are prevalent in the everyday, it is for us to continue pushing forward and doing the work that we have been called to do and engaging with the podcast was a reminder of this necessary work.”  It is words such as these that reflect on how sonic interventions of this nature can do more than just create interesting listening outcomes for contemporary audiences. They begin to fill the voids in our cultural fabric, and contribute to strengthening the voices/crafting new archives of everyday knowledges in thinking about how we fashion ourselves.
