COLLECTIVE EXCHANGE is the vehicle used for projects exploring social, historical and site-specific narratives through processes of making in collaboration with artists across different art forms by Ina Norrman.
It was originally set up by three creatives; Ina Norrman, Kate Grimes and Sarah Higgins during a residency in 2016 at Middlesex University for the Tottenham Community project. Since the residency finished Ina has continued with CE on several other projects.
Ina Norrman is a designer-maker with a background in psychology. Her work is intricately woven with psychological and philosophical concepts, reflecting her profound curiosity about the interconnectedness of people and their surroundings. In particular, she channels her passion for exploring how processes of creating with your hands can serve as a powerful catalyst for connecting individuals with the past, present, and future, particularly within the realm of social issues. Additionally, Ina is dedicated to unravelling the therapeutic advantages inherent in the processes of creativity and making.
