Make an argumentative essay stating that in history, the pursuit of objectivity to grapple with historical biases and narratives that silence certain voices makes subjectivity worthy of condemnation. However, subjectivity plays a crucial role in art and is essential for artistic expression. It allows artists to convey their unique perspectives, emotions, and experiences through their work. Subjectivity in the arts allows creativity and imagination to thrive, enabling artists to push boundaries, challenge norms, and create something original.
