WHY 193?
193 countries are combined in the United Nations officially.
Each project193 consists of respectively 193 individual contributions and symbolize the equality and unity of the people on earth. The 193 countries are the countries combined officially in the United Nations at the time of project start.
Because countries have to have a certain stability and a compulsory membership in a whole with corresponding values advocate and act accordingly to provide seriously to pursue the goal of a peaceful and happy coexistence. Of course the people who do not live in the 193 UN countries are not different and they are as much as all other people a part of the whole humanity. However, these regions are often not recognized as an independent country from all others, there are controversial power with instability and violence.
I want to express at this point explicitly that we do not forget these people and they should not be excluded, on the contrary. The works of art are rather just be given to these people and admonishing point out that many people in search of their home, in order to live together peacefully.
However, it had to find a framework so that art works with individual country contributions are even possible to realize. Not an easy task. So I apologize for that when I speak of the world here the template is created only by the countries of the United Nations.
