Ishag has forged a unique and expansive practice which is not defined by a singular style or movement. The exhibition builds on the major solo exhibition of the artist’s work organised by and presented at Sharjah Art Foundation in 2016. The exhibition at Serpentine South in London will take place from October 7 to January 29, 2023.
In the 1960s, nearly everyone was interested in UFOs - JFK, NASA, the CIA and citizens alike.This Autumn, Serpentine and Sharjah Art Foundation, in collaboration with The Africa Institute, present a major exhibition of pioneering Sudanese artist Kamala Ibrahim Ishag (b. The second reason for Kennedy's inquiry could have been his obvious interest in space travel at the time of his (alleged) writing, NASA was a new agency, Lester explained, and "the whole question of outer space and life in outer space was at the forefront of everybody's thinking." Third, there was a natural concern about UFOs at the time due to a spurt of incidents thought to be sightings. This may be what Kennedy implied when he (allegedly) wrote, "It is important that we make a distinction between known and unknowns in the event the Soviets try to mistake our extended cooperation as a cover for intelligence gathering of their defense or space programs." Lester believes the president was interested in UFO intelligence for three reasons.įirst, Lester said, Kennedy was concerned that UFOs seen by the Soviets would be misinterpreted by them as being U.S. However, this second document, and thus the conclusion, is also suspect.Īlternatively, even if the burned memo is fake but the newly surfaced memo is real, there are several perfectly logical reasons why Kennedy might have written it. Lester claims that the new declassified memo is thus the missing link in a conspiracy theory surrounding another document that many conspiracy theorists think indicates that the CIA killed Kennedy to prevent his involvement in a UFO cover-up.

"Something is a little odd about it," the technician said. Despite the fact that JFK kept carbon copies of all his letters, even the classified ones, "in searching through the president's office files - CIA, NASA and National Security files - we could find no evidence of this memo or anything like it."įurthermore, it doesn't look like other top secret memos Kennedy wrote during his presidency. 12, 1963, letter to the director of the CIA, John McCone," the technician told Life's Little Mysteries. "We did some research into the presidential papers to try to find any evidence of the Nov. A research technician at the JFK Library in Boston, who asked not to be named, was unable to find a carbon copy of it in its presidential archive, which holds copies of all of JFK's letters. The top secret memo hasn't turned up anywhere else besides Lester's book, however, and some archivists question its authenticity. "At the time, I think other people were getting them too." "When I was in the process of filing, those letters had just become declassified and released to the public." This happened in 2006 or 2007, Lester said. "The government regularly declassifies documents after a certain amount of time goes by, and then you have to file a request for those documents," Lester told Life's Little Mysteries, a sister site of. Lester, a paranormal researcher and author of the new book "A Celebration of Freedom: JFK and the New Frontier" (Wasteland Press, 2010), said he obtained the memo along with two others from the CIA under the Freedom of Information Act. But first things first: Is the document authentic? The newly surfaced document is bound to add fuel to the undying fire surrounding the president's death.
