Welcome to SkasdiCon, a showcase of Indigenous influence on pop culture.
While there’s no word quite like “Skasdi” in English, it conveys pride, impressiveness, awesomeness, fierceness and feistiness. One Cherokee word can describe so many of the comic book, movie and video game characters, created by artists and celebrated by cosplayers, that you can find at comic conventions. From this, SkasdiCon was born!
Here, guests can attend Indigenous panel discussions, view exclusive screenings, meet Indigenous creators, and enjoy the family-friendly cosplay competition.
Show your flair for fashion and your love for Indigenous heritage, pop culture, sci-fi and fantasy! Join in the fun of our family-friendly cosplay competition, featuring celebrity judges and several categories with cash prizes. Check out past event winners and start planning your cosplay outfit!
