An art exhibition titled “Simple Joys” opened its doors on 13 September 2025, at the OTTO Shoe Mini Museum. It aims to rekindle appreciation for basic human connections. Curator Riza Zuñiga, a visual artist, writer, training director, and experienced curator, spearheads the show with Dennis Caballes. The exhibition features the works of 25 women artists.

It can remind us of the importance of expressions like gratitude, warmth, and love.

The exhibition is a response to modern challenges. It acknowledges the increasing prevalence of detachment. It encourages viewers to reconsider what truly brings joy.
The artwork on display reflects a range of perspectives. The artists showcase unique styles. Their shared goal is to inspire viewers to find joy in everyday moments. “Our art is our expression of what will bring Simple Joys,” the artists shared.
“Simple Joys” seeks to bridge the gap. It connects a technologically saturated world with time-honored values. This exhibition offers a moment of reflection. It encourages people to prioritize authentic human connection.
The exhibition will run until 25 October 2025. The OTTO Shoe Mini Museum invites the public. They can come and experience “Simple Joys.” Visitors can rediscover the beauty in the basics.
