Julie navigates the ruins of America in the same way she faces stage IV breast cancer: with a rambunctious and determined heart. At least, on the surface. Join Blake as he explores the architectural remains of the Homowack Lodge, alongside his fierce compatriot Julie, a compassionate and sensitive queer community leader in Hudson Valley, NY. While they wander through the abandoned Catskillian resort with its curious name, Julie reflects openly on cancer, America, and the unmitigated medicine of laughter.

All-American Ruins at North Carolina Museum of History: History + Highballs

On July 20, 2023, North Carolina Museum of History hosted All-American Ruins as part of their History + Highballs virtual series. The program, entitled All-American Ruins: Reawakening the Healing Power of Imagination in Abandoned Spaces, started with a question: “Can the human imagination serve as a space of healing and serenity as much as it serves as a space of creativity and wonderment?” From North Carolina Museum of History: “Join multidisciplinary artist Blake Pfeil (creator of [All-American Ruins] (https://www.blakepfeil.com/allamericanruins.html) ) as he guides you through abandoned spaces across the United States and explores the healing power of imagination. Using multiple styles of storytelling, Pfeil draws an alternative roadmap of the country, investigating the cultural significance of American ruins, their lasting impact on American history, and ultimately, how the human imagination can have a powerful impact on our mental, emotional, and spiritual health.” You can rewatch the entire program here: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E9vU42ieCLg&t=1760s] (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E9vU42ieCLg&t=1760s) You can view the program deck here: [https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1gtVsSG3-Iqn25CjG55Gz3FHIFBfWyF6SqJf8FtSkdOY/edit?usp=sharing] (https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1gtVsSG3-Iqn25CjG55Gz3FHIFBfWyF6SqJf8FtSkdOY/edit?usp=sharing) Learn more about All-American Ruins: [http://www.allamericanruins.com] (http://www.allamericanruins.com) Please contact advertising@airwavemedia.com if you would like to advertise with All-American Ruins.
