The shows below encourage flights into the imagination or nurture hope for the future. Artist Tove Jansson and her Moomins creations are nothing if not beacons of warmth and inclusivity, while EJ Hill’s installation and endurance performance transforms 52 Walker gallery into a space of healing. Likewise, an exhibition of historical media about atomic power at Poster House offers an unexpected message that protest can change the world for the better. And Andy Warhol’s early fashion drawings — well, those are just a pleasure to see.
