A crowd is a number of interacting individuals. Surrounded by people, we are carried by enthusiasm or jostled around in every direction. While it may be pleasant being surrounded by football supporters at a match, demonstrating citizens who share the same convictions, or marathon runners all thirsty to win, it can also be a frightening experience to be crammed into the metro, squashed in a procession or in the middle of a religious pilgrimage. All of these situations have a common factor: each individual exists only through their interaction with others. From these interaction emerge the collective
phenomena that the Crowds exhibition aims to study through the lens of «Societyscience».
