Our story

The Oracle has developed organically from people making music, performing, teaching, producing and building community. It was not invented as an agency first and then sent looking for a culture to represent. The culture came first.

We have worked across grassroots culture and major institutions: creating Disrupting the Legacy with UCL, co-producing and curating Panafrica in Rhythm at the Barbican, performing at V&A East’s Music is Black Festival and bringing Endz Jazz Soul to COLORS Tones of London. A community jam and a Barbican commission can serve the same philosophy.

Culture should be shared, not gatekept.
