Lindi Ortega and Sarah Mac: The Bowery, Sheffield
Lindi Ortega fits in perfectly with the Bowery’s vintage living room décor, to the point that I feel I’m watching a photo shoot. Two photographers are at the front, clicking away before she…
Rebecca Pronsky and Little Robots: The Green Room, Sheffield
