In a letter to an old friend, Jemima Mousseau described herself as one of three Menominee children taken at night to the North Union Shaker Village in Warrensville Township. Her remarkable life, uncovered through new historical research, reveals themes of movement, resilience, and the fluid nature of identity in 19th- and early 20th-century Ohio.
Brought One Dark Night will open November 2025 and share Jemima’s story in depth for the first time. The exhibition is supported in part by Cuyahoga Arts & Culture.
