The ICA

The ICA is not a museum, it is much more than that. It is THE platform for independent contemporary art and culture in London, and has been for the last 75 years. Since its inception as the first truly multi-disciplinary arts organisation, it has been at the cutting edge. It is the home of the first institutional exhibitions in London by Pablo Picasso, Francis Bacon and Jean-Michel Basquait; the birthplace of Pop Art; a platform for legendary performances by Yoko Ono, The Clash, and David Bowie; and the place where filmmakers like Steve McQueen launched their careers. It pioneered women’s art shows in the UK in the early 1980s, and now plays host to exhibitions by the likes of Penny Goring and R.I.P. Germain, as well as hosting queer techno raves, exclusive performances by artists like Alewya, and it screens over 300 unique and independent films a year.
