On October 18, 2024, Museum of Graffiti opened "Samuel Sumak's Visions," a compelling exhibition that explores the story of Samuel Sumak, a graphic artist and muralist whose life and work shaped the entire Chilean graffiti scene.
This exhibition, the result of the U.F.O. (Unión, Fuerza, Objetivo) collective's work, including a wide array of media such as paintings, drawings, installations, and graffiti. At its core, the exhibit tells the powerful story of Samuel Sumak, who was persecuted during the 1990s and forced to live underground as a vagabond, adopting the name Bultisam. This deeply personal narrative is depicted in a large triptych, which U.F.O. has been painting over the past three years, capturing his journey of resilience, transformation, and artistic expression. No one today knows of the whereabouts of Samuel Sumak, but his legend lives on inside the Museum of Graffiti.
