The elements of the world we live in are increasingly becoming synthesized, mixed and reorganized. New ideas are being combined with existing ones. From cars to food, politics and religion, biochemistry, new technologies and art, we are all experiencing the hybrid.

CoCA has presented the Annual since 1989, each time bringing in an independent juror to select and curate the works. This year's juror is Riko Nakasone, director and curator of the Bau-Xi Gallery in Vancouver, BC.
