Gathering deck

For calls, community talks and art evenings: warmth leads. A ten-slide talk built only from the Seeds of Renaissance system, on a fixed 1920 × 1080 artboard.

White is the default ground; paper and sunlight sometimes; one night slide at most per section, here the section break for part two.
Polyamine for titles under about ten words, Restora for the long quote, Bricolage to read, Apfel Grotezk for labels. Nothing under 28px on the artboard, so it reads from the back of a room.
Red only as the logo's own red and one red seed beside the quote. Photos are placeholders.

The deck at a glance

Every slide

**1 · Title.** Paper column with the talk title in Polyamine, speakers below, the logo on its disc. A photograph torn in on the right, swallows over it. `.slide--title`

Part one

The moment

2 · Section. A chapter break: one or two words of Polyamine on sunlight, with one woodcut. .slide--section.slide--sun

The moment

One crisis, not many

Ecological, political, social and spiritual crises share one root.
An old civilisation is slowly dying. The new one is not yet born.
Meaning is thin, and no story is yet coherent enough to guide us.
As in every great turning, the crisis carries a seed.

3 · Content. A heading and up to five short points with ink square markers, Bricolage light at 44px. Swap the list for .slide__lead to hold a short paragraph instead. .slide--content

Like doulas, we witness the last breath of a dying past and the first breath of a future being born.
From the manifesto

4 · Quote. Past ten words, display text moves to Restora. A single red seed marks it: the one place red appears as a graphic. .slide--quote.slide--paper

A woman in white among rubble at dusk, a fire burning beside an open door — **5 · Image.** A full-bleed photograph; the caption sits on a torn white strip, numbered as a plate. No slide foot, so the picture has the room. `.slide--image`

Part two

6 · Section on night. The same section slide on the night ground, with the swallow seal. One night slide per section at most; use it where the talk goes deep. .slide--section.slide--night

Friends laughing around a long table in a garden — **7 · Image and text.** Heading, two lines and the plate caption on the left; the photograph bleeds off the right edge, flat and square, torn into the page. `.slide--split`
