We've been wanting to discuss Folkorama for a while now, with the recent statement issued by Folkorama to CBC in regards to the unofficial Ghanaian pavilion, now seemed like an appropriate time

In this episode Scott and Greg talk about how Folkorama presents as liberal conception of multiculturalism in Winnipeg, how at it's worst it tokenizes the communities it's trying to showcase.
