Debil Debil: Baldwin Spencer

Synopsis: Debil Debilis a film inspired by Jason Tamiru, the Melbourne School of Design’s Indigenous Cultural Advisor, and his profound experience upon first entering the Walter Baldwin Spencer Lecture Theatre, located on the University of Melbourne’s grounds. Drawing on Spencer’s controversial legacy as an evolutionary biologist whose work influenced the Stolen Generation policy, the film seeks to decolonize the building and reimagine its significance. Grounded in Tamiru’s perspective, it serves as a powerful reflection on confronting painful histories and fostering transformative dialogue.
