At its core our proposal will explore the role of creativity (film, music, soundscapes, visual arts, craft traditions) inspired by cultural assets (townscape heritage, coastal landscape setting and links to UNESCO World Heritage in mainland Tanzania, Zanzibar and the UK). This enhances and magnifies the impact of our AHRC 'Fragmented Heritage/ Curious Travellers' methodology that combines photographic imagery (crowd-sourced/ web-scraped and new imagery) together with mobile mapping data to digitally document cultural heritage sites in context, as an approach that anticipates change, given diverse challenges that place heritage at risk. The project will draw from Bagamoyo's rich heritage and cultural traditions, given Bagamoyo's strategic coastal location, with trading links across the Indian Ocean, past, present and future - including its boat-building traditions, role with salt production and the spice trade; the slave and ivory trade; its colonial past and linkage both with Christianity and Islam - the entry of Christianity into the interior; and with historical figures including Dr Livingstone whose body was brought to Bagamoyo upon his death in Malawi. Digital heritage researchers and creative researchers at Bradford and St Andrews will co-create artistic works with heritage and creative researchers at the University of Dar-es-Salaam and artists at TaSUBa (Bagamoyo's Arts and Cultural Institute - Taasisi ya Sanaa na Utamaduni Bagamoyo). Training will be given in digital methods and the output will include an entry to the film shorts category at the Zanzibar International Film Festival; and a real-time portal/art installation to be showcased at the vibrant Bagamoyo Arts Festival that will link places within Tanzania (Bagamoyo on Mainland and Zanzibar Stone Towns) and between Tanzania, England and Scotland as an innovative concept and alternate form of digital twinning 'Windows Across the Oceans'. The innovative digital heritage research will enhance inclusive engagement with the creative and cultural economy in Tanzania supporting cultural heritage tourism and cultural resource management. The installations will be used to highlight the universal value of world heritage to a global audience, the importance of conserving cultural heritage settings (townscape heritage, maritime heritage) to both local people and government in Tanzania and the linked understanding and meaning that comes from oral histories, craft traditions and other rich narratives.The project facilitates knowledge exchange and capacity building throughout, crucially involving TZ researchers to spend time in the UK, developing digital heritage skills to work with the Bagamoyo data, with additional financial support/ value-added from Erasmus+ funded activity As a result , with researchers from UDSM we will co-create a digital twin for the Historic City of Bagamoyo (on the UNESCO tentative world heritage list) and as part of this, generate Google StreetView-ready content to raise visibility for townscape heritage and to support local businesses. The digital twin will serve as a framework to unite Bagamoyo's tangible heritage (buildings, port and boat-building tradition, landscapes/ seascapes), and intangible narratives (stories, songs, cultural practices and craft knowledge) to help to document past and present way of life. The new, vibrant digital assets that are created through this project will 1) support local tour guides (helping to increase visibility as a tourism destination; and by creating digital resources that can enhance the tourism experience); 2) promote global citizenship and foster good community relations (helping to educate people, develop place-making and enhance civic pride); 3) develop use of IT through methods that support digital discovery (hidden heritage); 4) improve accessibility (equality, diversity and inclusion); 5) provide methods for long term monitoring of change to sites by heritage guardians.

我们的提案以文化资产的启发（城镇景观遗产，沿海景观环境以及指向联合国教科文组织世界遗产的链接在坦桑尼亚大陆，Zanzibar和英国的链接）。这增强并扩大了我们AHRC的“零散的遗产/好奇旅行者”方法的影响，该方法将摄影图像（人群/网络绑带和新图像）与移动映射数据结合在一起，以数字方式记录文化遗产地点，作为一种预期的方法，可以预期将遗产带来风险的多元化挑战。鉴于Bagamoyo的战略性沿海地点，该项目将借鉴Bagamoyo丰富的遗产和文化传统，并在印度洋，过去，现在和未来之间建立了贸易联系，包括其造船传统，盐生产和香料贸易的角色；奴隶和象牙贸易；它的殖民过去和与基督教和伊斯兰教之间的联系 - 基督教进入室内；以及包括利文斯通博士在内的历史人物，他的尸体在马拉维去世后被带到了巴格莫约。布拉德福德（Bradford）和圣安德鲁斯（St Andrews）的数字遗产研究人员和创意研究人员将与达 - 萨拉姆大学（University of Dar-Es-Salaam）的遗产和创意研究人员共同创作艺术作品，以及塔苏巴（Tasuba）的艺术家（bagamoyo的艺术与文化研究所-Taasisi Yaaaa Yaaaa yaaaa na utamadunibagamoyo）。培训将以数字方法进行，输出将包括桑给巴尔国际电影节上电影短裤类别的条目；以及将在充满活力的Bagamoyo艺术节上展示的实时门户/艺术装置，该节将在坦桑尼亚（大陆的Bagamoyo和Zanzibar Stone Towns）中以及坦桑尼亚，英格兰和苏格兰之间联系起来，将其作为创新的概念，并将其作为数字绕道窗户的替代形式。创新的数字遗产研究将增强与坦桑尼亚的创造性和文化经济的包容性参与，以支持文化遗产旅游和文化资源管理。这些装置将用于强调世界遗产对全球观众的普遍价值，保护文化遗产环境（城镇景观遗产，海洋遗产，海上遗产）的重要性，对坦桑尼亚的当地人和政府的重要性以及与之相关的理解和含义，这些理解和含义来自于流动历史，工艺传统和能力的范围内，既富有的叙事又涉及范围的范围。 heritage skills to work with the Bagamoyo data, with additional financial support/ value-added from Erasmus+ funded activity As a result , with researchers from UDSM we will co-create a digital twin for the Historic City of Bagamoyo (on the UNESCO tentative world heritage list) and as part of this, generate Google StreetView-ready content to raise visibility for townscape heritage and to support local businesses.数字双胞胎将成为团结Bagamoyo的切实遗产（建筑物，港口和建筑传统，风景/海景）以及无形的叙述（故事，故事，歌曲，文化实践和手工艺知识），以帮助记录过去和现在的生活方式。通过该项目创建的新的，充满活力的数字资产将1）支持当地的导游（有助于提高作为旅游目的地的可见性；通过创建可以增强旅游体验的数字资源）； 2）促进全球公民身份并促进良好的社区关系（帮助教育人们，发展场所并增强公民自豪感）； 3）通过支持数字发现（隐藏遗产）的方法来开发使用它； 4）提高可访问性（平等，多样性和包容性）； 5）提供了遗产监护人对现场变化的长期监控的方法。
