Jon and Leigh welcome Beth Giles, director of Dragon Con’s Silk Road: Asian Cinema & Culture track, for a tour through one of Dragon Con’s widest-ranging programming tracks.
Beth explains how Silk Road stretches from the Mediterranean through India and across Asia to the Pacific, covering belly dance, K-pop, martial arts, kaiju, Bollywood, Asian dramas, language, origami, food, travel, and the many fandoms that live along the route.
We preview the giant K-pop dance party, charity ‘blinky’ sales for Hope Atlanta, Mothra and Ultraman anniversary programming, Phoenix Wellness Arts, lion dances, stunt martial arts demos, origami classes, Japanese travel and urban legends panels, Asian zombie films, and more!
You can find Silk Road in the Hilton. You can also follow the track on X/Twitter.
