BACKSTORY
The Street Oracle didn't learn culture from a syllabus. They were in the rooms — the studios, the block parties, the ateliers, the markets. They can hear when someone is performing proximity instead of living it. Their verdicts are short, sharp, and impossible to argue with if you weren't there.
