A few years ago I returned to drawing, something that began when as a little Puerto Rican-Spanish girl used it as an escape from life in a small town in the Deep South. The glamour of photos in HOLA magazine inspired me to draw Stepanie of Monaco as I longed for Spain. As an Art History professor and from a feminist and anti-monarnichal point of view, I return to the magazines to portray Duchess of Alba Cayetana Fitz-James Stuart, fashion designer Agatha Ruiz de la Prada, or the argument between queens Letizia and Sofia at the Palma de Mallorca Cathedral.

This roundtable article investigates the “critical archive” as a material concept in the fields of artistic production, art historiography, curatorial practice, and criticism. We invited twelve critics, artists, art historians, and curators to respond to a series of questions related to the idea of the archive as a critical agent in the field of art. The roundtable examines different historical and institutional permutations of conceptions of a (self-) critical archive and its possible impact on our understanding of the relationship between art and historical evidence.
