“¿Dónde está mi raza?” (in English: “Where is my race/people?”) is a poster-shaped essay by Puerto Rican writer and activist Yolanda Arroyo Pizarro, known for amplifying Afro-Caribbean, feminist, and queer experiences. Published by Rey Naranjo Editores (Colombia), designed by Raúl Zea (founder of Rey Naranjo Editores) and printed by Uno Estudio, the piece is both a visual and textual denunciation of racism and social exclusion.

The text reflects on the construction of racial and personal identity shaped by marginalization and the systemic erasure of Black identity. Arroyo transforms her lived experience into an act of political resistance and self-affirmation.

The cover features VTC Bayard, a typeface inspired by protest signs from the 1963 March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom, thus carrying a graphic legacy of civil rights struggles. In this work, word and image merge into a powerful call for Black visibility and dignity. The essay itself is set in a yet unidentified typeface.
