‘muddy measures. when wetlands and heritage converse’ examines the relationship between wetlands and heritage. The phrase “muddy measures” is inherently contradictory. Measurements seek to make something comprehensible and comparable, often for the purpose of research, but also for exploitation or control. However, the term “muddy” evokes opacity and ambiguity. Both heritage and wetlands elude a single definition. When diverse wetlands related practices are considered heritage, questions related to power, knowledge and futures come to the surface. In wetlands, we observe heritage as a future making practice where multiple world perspectives encounter and potentially conflict. Heritage making reveals how a certain group determines and negotiates what is valuable in the present.
