ICA is a place in central London. The letters stand for Institute of Contemporary Arts. It is a building where people go to look at new art, watch films, and see performances that belong to now — not old museum paintings from hundreds of years ago. Some shows there make people argue. One visitor loves the work; another thinks it is silly, ugly, or even shocking. That is part of why the ICA is famous: it does not only put out safe, pretty things. In English we say the letters one by one: “I-C-A.” You will meet the name in news about art, in city guides, and if you visit London. It is a proper name, so we write it in capital letters. Though actually, ICA can stand for other organisations in other countries; in British talk about culture, this London building is the one people mean.
