MOPOP's newest special exhibition, Asian Comics: Evolution of an Art Form is opening this March! Join us for the Opening Party for first looks at the exhibition before it's first day open to the public. The spirit of Asian Comics is coming to life March 7 from 7:30PM - 12AM in the Forest of Lunarda, an alternate world hidden beyond the Midnight Market and under the moonlight of a total eclipse. Dance among mythical creatures, savor a culinary odyssey, indulge in magical elixirs, uncover thrilling surprises at every turn, and discover your powers within. The Moonbinders invite you to fully immerse yourself in an unforgettable realm, where the power of storytelling unfolds and transports you into the very heart of its magic.
Step inside this cosmic cosplay soiree in the Forest of Lunarda and set your imagination free at our Isekai-inspired Moonlit Forest x Night Market exhibition Opening Party, featuring:
-First looks at the exhibition:
Delve into over 400 works from countries including Japan, China, Bhutan, Cambodia, India, Afghanistan, and Vietnam.
-The Night Market:
Delight in a curated selection of tastes and treats crafted by local chefs, inspired by the vibrant street markets of East, Southeast, and South Asia.
-Dancing in the Forest of Lunarda:
Step through the portal into an interdimensional sanctuary under the Lunarda Eclipse. Let DJ Sake Bomb’s hypnotic beats and Aleksa Manila’s magnetic presence guide you through an electrifying Anime Rave where music becomes pure euphoria. Stay for the Midnight Rite and embrace the magic before the sun breaks and the portal closes.
-Cosplay Contest:
Embody the spirit of Lunarda—powered by art, nature, magic, and the forces of the moon. Whether your inspiration comes from folklore, mythology, or pure imagination, step into the moonlight to showcase your creativity and compete for prizes, celebrating the limitless artistry of storytelling through cosplay.
