Five incoming graduate students in Memorial University’s Department of Folklore have completed an intensive three-week field school at the St. John’s Farmers’ Market.

A pop-up exhibit entitled “Behind the Vendors: Building Communities,” was held in the market’s community room on Saturday, September 28. The market was chosen as a location for the field school due to its cultural diversity and how it embodies a different St. John’s than the one commonly viewed in tourism ads. It also reflects how much can be learned about a city through its food.
