We'll be popping up at Tucson Comic-Con
September 4, 5 & 6, 2026
Tucson Convention Center, Booth F18

Stop by Booth F18 to meet artist/illustrator Tom Farris (Otoe-Missouria/Cherokee), make and take some artwork, participate in the Comic-Con scavenger hunt, and, of course, enjoy the exhibit. 

Friday only! Kit-bashing artist Bobby Stills (Lipan Apache/Chicano) will be at the booth, too.

Friday, 4:40-5:30 p.m., Room 202 in the convention center
Panel Discussion: Native Superheroes & the Art of Representation
Indigenous creatives Tom Farris, Bobby Stills, and Pachynne Ignacio will discuss Native American representation in pop culture and share stories of Indigenous superheroes. Tom Farris created Cherokee Superman. Bobby Stills's customized action figures have a gritty urban edge. Pachynne Ignacio's art makes you wonder how one finds identity and likeness in mainstream culture. Join us for a robust discussion!

See you there!

Tricksters and Truthtellers: Different Ways of Seeing highlights local and national Indigenous artists whose works make viewers consider different perspectives on current issues such as identity, appropriation, the environment, the role of museums, and ways communities come together to care for each other and protect what is valued. The pieces chosen use animals to tell their stories. The traditional tricksters, Coyote and Raven, serve as your guides through the exhibit, offering their own humorous commentary.  

Curated by Lisa Falk and Jennifer Juan, Arizona State Museum. Illustrations by Tom Farris (Otoe-Missouria/Cherokee).
