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.
