Kristina and Rafael Maldonado Bad Hand, Indigenous Comic Book artists and áyA Con Founders
Kristina Maldonado Bad Hand is a Sicangu Lakota and Cherokee artist that hails from Taos, New Mexico.
Her passion for community and social justice has led her to speak on matters of equality and cultural representation in pop culture.
She is a graphic designer, illustrator, comic creator, and she is the co-founder and director of áyA Con, and handles most of our community outreach and programming.
Rafael Maldonado Bad Hand is the artist, writer and creator of the independent comic, “Pilla”, the story of a young girl searching for her father in a post-apocalyptic world where humans are on the bottom of the food chain.
In 2021 he was the recipient of the Imagine 2020 arts award, presented at the proclamation reading of Indigenous Peoples Day for the city of Denver.
Rafael is also a former commissioner of the Denver American Indian Commission and has taken on a new independent endeavor with like minded Indigenous comic creators under the name of Rezilient Press.
