Since 2018, Shireen has been working with curator Lydia Honeybone to develop Glasgow Artists’ Moving Image Studios. The project addresses a recognised need for specialist exhibition space for artists’ film and performance in Glasgow, whilst creating opportunities for artistic development through collaborative, training and programming opportunities. They are currently working on plans to develop the upper floor of the former Govanhill Picture House into a creative hub, containing artists’ studios and work spaces with a publicly accessible, flexible cinema and performance space and meeting/workshop facilities.

Shireen was a participant in the inaugural SCAN Curatorial Studio, a peer-learning research project led by Kirsteen MacDonald, she is on the Programming Committee of Glasgow Project Room and is a Visiting Lecturer at Glasgow School of Art.
