Claude Desir Jr. knows something about history. But, he’s had to work for it.
“I never learned too much about African history or African American history in school. I did that on my own. But it always made me wonder why I was always learning about other pieces of history but (not) my own history,” Desir says.
“Then when I did my own research and was getting into other stuff, it made more sense: There’s a lot of bad times.”
Today, the Bridgeport artist is confronting those bad times with “Sometimes i don’t feel like im really here,” a solo exhibit at City Lights Gallery in Bridgeport on view through Feb. 24.
