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
166/195 COUNTRIES REPRESENTED
No creative platform, gallery, brand, or institution has ever achieved full global representation. Project 195 exists to change that.
Today, 13AM represents 166 of the world’s 195 countries, brought together into a single creative collection and community.
Later this year, 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.

#ARTIST383 | QATAR
Roda Al Nasr is a Qatari artist raised in England, whose work explores the duality of identity, tradition and contemporary life. Drawing inspiration from everyday moments in Qatar, desert drives, Karak by the fire, coastal summers, she reimagines them through a bold, modern lens. Rooted in photorealism, her practice blends elements of Cubism, graffiti and pop art to create visually striking narratives. Driven by experimentation and a desire to challenge artistic norms, she works through colour, symbolism and cultural storytelling to spark dialogue and offer a fresh perspective on what it means to live between two worlds, local and global.
Her work has been exhibited internationally, including at the Fire Station Museum in Doha, the Saatchi Gallery in London and Kraftwerk Berlin, among others.

Gabriel Diogo is a designer and illustrator, born and raised on the East Side of São Paulo, Brazil. A graduate in Graphic and Digital Design from the Istituto Europeo di Design, he describes himself as a designer who found himself in illustration, someone who has always made art.

His work has also been recognised with two Bronze awards: at PR Awards Asia 2022 for Hotels.com's Marks of Summer campaign (with Weber Shandwick), and at the 2023 Prêmio Brasileiro de Design (BDA) for the Granellos packaging (with Palp Studio).

#ARTIST381 | TONGA
Taniela Petelo is a visual artist and musician, born and raised in Haveluloto, Tongatapu, Tonga. In 2009 he began training in fine arts under the artist and art teacher Tevita Latu, and today, alongside Latu, is a proud member of Seleka, an artist-run hub for young Tongan artists. Through Seleka he has travelled extensively across the Pacific, working with fellow artists in New Caledonia, Tahiti and New Zealand. Petelo works across a range of media, but is best known for his drawing, painting and mixed-media portraits.
His regular participation in exhibitions and residencies has drawn both local and international collectors, with his work now held in Poland, Australia, New Zealand, Fiji and the United States. In 2021 his work travelled to Kyoto, Japan for the group exhibition Light of my World, and more recently, as part of Seleka, he was commissioned for the prestigious Asia Pacific Triennial (APT10) at the Queensland Art Gallery of Modern Art (QAGOMA) in Brisbane. The resulting installation, Hifo Ki 'Olunga, a suspended Tongan fale housing a range of works by the collective, was acquired by QAGOMA. In 2024 he exhibited once again alongside his Seleka team, this time at the Govett-Brewster Art Gallery in New Plymouth, New Zealand.
