Poetry/Fiction/Zine Publications
Zine Publication, At the House, and Launch at One Park, Cape Town (pictured above)
Artist collective, (B)andWi(d)th, which is Kim M Reynolds and Luyanda Zindela, published their second zine, At the House, with DreamPress Studios in April 2025. (B)andWi(d)th’s second zine publication, At the House, draws its title from a playlist that Zindela and Reynolds connected over during the early days of their friendship. This publication goes beyond personal anecdotes; it explores the haptics and mutual recognition music offers us. Through the small moments spent listening to a playlist, readers will find reflections of their own relationships and meaning making systems that music can inspire.
This zine is an extension of that fondness and imagination, creating a landscape that is about memory, music, and giving nostalgia some kind of life, with a direction. In this album, you will find images of stereos, radios, and other noise-making machines, a love letter to Stevie Wonder, playlists to clean to on Saturday mornings, and of course a playlist for your house and your friends.
At the House, is music as much as it's dancing as much as it's paper and as much as it's ours as much as it's yours.
The zine was launched in conjunction with One Park and DreamPress Risograph Publishers, combining both a zine making workshop as well as a conversation programme.

ZineSpace with DreamPress and Norval Foundation
Artist collective, (B)andWi(d)th, which is Kim M Reynolds and Luyanda Zindela, published the Zine, The Bathwater of Home in 2022. (B)andWi(d)th was one of six collectives and individuals applicants chosen for the initiative, Zine Space. Zine Space is a collaboration between Norval Foundation and risograph Cape Town printing press, DreamPress, that capacitates artists for two months to conceptualise, design, and print a zine. (B)andWi(d)th’s zine is entitled The Bathwater of Home, and its gains its title from the poem that unfolds onto each page. The text is conceptualised by Reynolds and the visuals by Zindela, and there is significant overlap, and the two inform one another, rather than being two separate entities that come together. The zine exemplifies our collective ambition, which is the exploration of intimacy, and friendship, guided by writings from authors such as Tina Campt and bell hooks.The zine is available for purchase through DreamPress Studios
