CONNECTING ARTISTS FROM EVERY COUNTRY ON EARTH
Project 195 is an ongoing mission by 13AM to build a truly global creative network, representing artists from every country in the world, something that has never been done before.
By bringing together different cultures, perspectives, and lived experiences, the project creates a shared space where creativity can exist without borders. In an ever more divided world, it offers a way to connect through a universal language, building a collection that reflects the world as it is today.
AS FEATURED IN
162/195 COUNTRIES REPRESENTED
No creative platform, gallery, brand, or institution has ever achieved full global representation. Project 195 exists to change that.
Today, 13AM represents 162 of the world’s 195 countries, brought together into a single creative collection and community.
By Summer 2026, we will reach 182 countries. At that point, online discovery stops and The Final 13 begins...
The moment we step into the real world.
The final 13 countries are the hardest to reach, shifting the approach from digital discovery to real-world connection, travelling in person to find and collaborate with artists on the ground.
Captured as it happens, it becomes a global series, completing a world-first creative movement in front of the world.

#ARTIST365 | ESWATINI
Xolelwa Malinga is a multidisciplinary artist from Eswatini whose work centres on the Black female form as a site of emotional and cultural storytelling. Working across acrylic, oil and mixed media, she explores how posture, gesture and presence can communicate complex inner experiences, transforming the body into both subject and language. Through her practice, the figure becomes a symbolic form carrying memory, tension and meaning beyond what is immediately visible.
Her work has gained international recognition, including exhibitions in Dubai as part of Art Connects Women, Miami Art Week, and the RMB Latitudes Art Fair in Johannesburg. In 2024, she held her first solo exhibition at Alliance Française de Mbabane, before being named a winner of the WORLDART10 competition in 2025. She is also a mentee in the African Female Artist Mentorship Program 2025–2026 cohort.

#ARTIST370 | QATAR
Abdulaziz Yousef is a multidisciplinary artist from Qatar whose practice moves fluidly between murals, animation, sculpture, canvas and illustration. Working under the name Temsa7, he is drawn to the visual language of the unconscious mind, shaping a distinctive style that gives inner experience a form others can see and share. For Abdulaziz, each medium is simply another way to tell a story and storytelling, threaded through culture and a quiet sense of social purpose, sits at the centre of everything he makes.
His path began in newsprint, where he first earned recognition as a cartoonist for Al Raya under the name Temsa7, before expanding across film and public art over nearly two decades of practice. His animated short film Ya Hoota has gone on to win seven international awards, while his murals now form a permanent part of Msheireb Metro Station and the Jedari public graffiti initiative. He has held a residency at Qatar's Fire Station, co-curated exhibitions such as leBockade and [re]action with the Doha Film Institute, presented solo shows including Escapism in 2019, and spoken at TEDx Vancouver. His work has been honoured with a bronze Promax award and recognition at the Tamayoz awards, and he has collaborated with clients ranging from Qatar Museums and Qatar Airways to Chanel and UNESCO.
