We have a MeowWolf sponsored cosplay contest, so yes cosplay is welcomed and encouraged!

Here are some suggestions:

If you are Non-Native

The Dos-

Most popular characters from comics, anime, movies and other media. (Avatar Last Air Bender, XMen, Studio Ghibli etc.)

Environmental or cosmic guardians fantasy characters inspired by land, sky, or storytelling

The Don'ts-

Do Not dress as Pocahontas- it's a very complex and complicated situation that will almost always end in conflict.

Do Not wear or display any costume that is intentionally making a mockery of another culture or religion (No Spirit Halloween costumes) -You will be asked to leave.

If you are BIPOC

Indigenous Futurism cosplay: Original characters with futuristic Native aesthetics

Native‑inspired versions of mainstream characters, Marvel, DC, anime, video games, etc.

Fashion‑forward Indigenous looks streetwear, glam, or avant‑garde styles rooted in your identity
