‘The Cenote Ring’, Paola Estrella

HS Projects is delighted to present The Cenote Ring, an exhibition of recent works by Mexican artist Paola Estrella.

The Cenote Ring is a two-part project by multimedia artist Paola Estrella, unfolding across distinct spaces and mediums to explore the cenotes—natural sinkholes formed by the impact of an asteroid over 66 million years ago. Scattered across the Yucatán Peninsula, these interconnected sites make up the geological formation known as the Cenote Ring.

Bridging collaboration, ritual, and storytelling, the project comprises a collaborative performance at Stone Nest, London and a solo painting exhibition at 5 Howick Place, London. Though presented separately, both are conceptually intertwined—inviting audiences to move between myth and material, the ephemeral and the pictorial.

This project has been made possible thanks to support from the Arts Council National Lottery Project Grants, and Artists Make Space Programme at Orleans House Gallery.

‘The Cenote Ring’ is at Howick Place from 20th June 2025 to 12th December 2025.
