Kiosko (lit. transl. "pavilion" or "gazebo"), alternatively known as Refugio (lit. transl. "shelter"), is a 2009 outdoor contemporary art sculpture by Dutch artist Jan Hendrix, installed in the Zócalo (main square) of the city of Puebla, in the Mexican state of the same name. It was requested by the Fundación Amparo to honour philanthropist Ángeles Espinosa Yglesias. The sculpture consists of two aluminium cylinders painted white and cut to resemble tree foliage. Critics have highlighted the integration of the sculpture's design with its surroundings.
