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.

在其核心，我们的建议将探讨创意（电影，音乐，音景，视觉艺术，工艺传统）的作用，灵感来自文化资产（城镇景观遗产，沿海景观设置和链接到联合国教科文组织世界遗产在坦桑尼亚大陆，桑给巴尔和英国）。这增强并扩大了我们的AHRC“碎片遗产/好奇的旅行者”方法的影响，该方法将摄影图像（众包/网络抓取和新图像）与移动的地图数据相结合，以数字方式记录文化遗产遗址的背景，作为一种预测变化的方法，考虑到使遗产处于危险之中的各种挑战。该项目将借鉴巴加莫约丰富的遗产和文化传统，因为巴加莫约具有战略性的沿海位置，过去、现在和将来都有跨越印度洋的贸易联系，包括其造船传统、在盐生产和香料贸易中的作用;奴隶和象牙贸易;其殖民历史以及与基督教和伊斯兰教的联系-基督教进入内地;以及历史人物，包括利文斯通博士，他的尸体在马拉维去世后被带到巴加莫约。布拉德福德和圣安德鲁斯的数字遗产研究人员和创意研究人员将与达累斯萨拉姆大学的遗产和创意研究人员以及TaSUBa（巴加莫约艺术和文化研究所- Taasisi ya Sanaa na Utamaduni Bagamoyo）的艺术家共同创作艺术作品。将提供数字方法的培训，产出将包括一个进入桑给巴尔国际电影节电影短片类的项目;以及一个实时门户/艺术装置，将在充满活力的巴加莫约艺术节上展出，（大陆上的巴加莫约和桑给巴尔石头城）和坦桑尼亚之间，英格兰和苏格兰作为一个创新的概念和替代形式的数字孪生'窗口跨越海洋'。创新的数字遗产研究将加强坦桑尼亚创意和文化经济的包容性参与，支持文化遗产旅游和文化资源管理。这些装置将用于向全球观众强调世界遗产的普遍价值，保护文化遗产环境的重要性，（城镇景观遗产、海洋遗产），以及来自口述历史、手工艺传统和其他丰富叙述的相互关联的理解和意义。该项目促进了知识交流和能力建设，至关重要的是，让TZ研究人员在英国呆上一段时间，开发数字遗产技能，以处理巴加莫约数据，并获得伊拉斯谟+资助活动的额外财政支持/增值。我们将与UDSM的研究人员共同为巴加莫约历史名城创建一个数字孪生模型（在联合国教科文组织暂定世界遗产名录上），并作为其中的一部分，生成谷歌街景准备内容，以提高城市景观遗产的知名度，并支持当地企业。数字孪生将作为一个框架，将巴加莫约的有形遗产（建筑，港口和造船传统，风景/海景）和无形的叙述（故事，歌曲，文化习俗和工艺知识）结合起来，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）支持当地导游（帮助提高作为旅游目的地的知名度;并通过创建可以增强旅游体验的数字资源）; 2）促进全球公民意识和促进良好的社区关系（帮助教育人民，发展地方建设和提高公民自豪感）; 3）通过支持数字发现的方法来发展信息技术的使用（4）改善无障碍环境（平等、多样性和包容性）;（5）提供遗产监护人长期监测遗址变化的方法。
