Creative Mornings: BLOSSOM

A lecture series for the creative community
September 26th , 08:30 – 10:00 AM @ SPACES Air 
With Khalid Kaso

/ This event is hosted & presented in English /

Join us for another creative breakfast!
Breakfast starts at 8:30am with a little networking, followed by an intimate and personal talk from a selected creative from this city. This months it's Khalid Kaso.

The global theme for September is BLOSSOM.  It was chosen by the Pereira chapter in Colombia and illustrated by Edwin Morales.

Every blossom is an act of becoming. The quiet force of roots pushing through the dark, the slow unfurling of a bud, a sudden burst of color. But plants don’t blossom on command. Each flower requires the right amount of sunlight, water, and nourishment across the cycle of the seasons.
It’s the same for creativity. Our next idea lies dormant, while we fertilize our mind. With attention, protection, and space to play, our work becomes what it is meant to be. Petal by petal, the passion inside us bursts into a glorious bouquet.
But remember that flowers don’t bloom purely for their own sake. They share their fragrance, attract pollinators, and serve the larger ecosystem. Your creativity needs to pollinate as well. So, share your gift. Spread more ideas, more beauty, and more courage.
To truly blossom, you must take the risk of opening up. This is your season. You deserve to be seen. Offer your abundance of color to the world!
Ask yourself, “what within me is ready to blossom?” “What can I nurture to help others do the same?”

About the speaker
Khalid Kaso was born in Iraq and has been living in the Netherlands for almost two years. In Iraq, he worked with NGOs as an interpreter and coordinator, helping to bridge cultural differences in order to provide effective support for refugees and displaced people.

Khalid has a strong interest in community-oriented events and projects that create space for connection, dialogue, and the sharing of new perspectives. In addition, Khalid is passionate about cinema and is eager to learn more about the field, with the ambition to eventually create his own artistic work.

He's the filmmaker behind the film "The Phoenix’s Remaining Ashes", an 8 minute short that explores the inner struggles people face when trying to integrate and contribute to society after traumatic or dramatic experiences. The film will be shown at the event.
