Presented by the SAQA: "Discover how cosplay has evolved from fan passion to a vibrant form of textile art. Beyond the stitches and seams, cosplay is a deeply communal practice, one rooted in collaboration, skill-sharing, and creative expression. This talk traces its creative history and celebrates the makers, stitchers, and dreamers who transform fabric into shared stories and build global communities that preserve textile art along the way."
