Cosplay: A History

Sunday July 25, 2021 11:00 am to 12:00 pm


Come with us on a journey into the origins of cosplay in the US and explore how it has evolved to what it is today. From the first sci-fi con to today’s SDCC. In addition to its US roots, we will examine how Japan adapted cosplay for itself and compare how cultural differences manifest themselves in the amazing hobby known as cosplay.
