Haitian markets are vibrant and bustling displays of daily life and community spirit. Vendors sell a variety of goods from colorful stalls and women with baskets balanced on their heads walk through the crowd offering fresh fruits, vegetables, spices, and handmade crafts. As these paintings show, the market is not just a place for commerce but a social hub where people come together to share news, stories, and a sense of community.
