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 Norrman has continued with CE on several other projects.
Ina Norrman is a designer-maker with a background in psychology and her work is guided by her interest in people and place. Psychological and philosophical ideas are central to her work and she has a keen interest in how processes of making can engage people with the past, the now and the future, especially on social topics. She is also interested in exploring the therapeutic benefits of creativity and making.
