BKFOXX : I Hope Our Kids Will Save Us, Wynwood Miami
Street Artist BKFOXX presents I Hope Our Kids Will Save Us, a site-responsive photographic and performative work realised at The Calle Collective in Wynwood, Miami. Produced with wxllspace and curated by Jill Weisberg, the project exists as both a live installation and a time-based visual document, accompanied by a publicly released time lapse and full-length video.
“This piece was a response to all the terrible wrongs that have been allowed to occur in our modern, supposedly advanced times; and is an expression of the sincere hope that the next generation will be willing to forgive us, and help make things better.” BKFOXX
Created in response to the many social, political, and environmental failures permitted in our so-called advanced era, I Hope Our Kids Will Save Us by BKFOXX centres children and their stuffed companions as quiet witnesses to a world in need of repair. Rather than functioning as symbols or props, these objects, well-worn, handmade, and deeply personal, embody emotional endurance, memory, and care. They stand in for a generation inheriting the consequences of decisions they did not make.

A robot by Chris RWK appears within the work as a deliberate counterpoint, evoking narratives of progress, technology, and misplaced faith in advancement without accountability. In contrast, a hand-crocheted fox by Maura D. Falchetti underscores the intimacy and labour embedded in acts of care. The full cast of “models”, including Foxy (the central figure), Bully, Pinchy, Blur, Spot, Dino, Octy, Chompy, Fangy, and two from the artist’s own household, creates a tender yet unsettling chorus.

The project was realised with the participation of Krave and Tiara’s children, whose presence and personal belongings ground the work in lived experience. Their involvement reinforces the project’s central tension: hope placed upon the next generation alongside an implicit request for forgiveness.

Situated within The Calle Collective, a free and publicly accessible space surrounded by murals by leading South Florida artists, the work emphasises openness, community engagement, and cultural responsibility. The site itself becomes part of the artwork’s meaning, art not sealed off, but embedded in public life.

I Hope Our Kids Will Save Us by BKFOXX is an admission of collective failure paired with a fragile, sincere hope: that empathy, imagination, and care may succeed where power, speed, and progress have not.
