Together with Dear, an artist-led initiative by Martha Jager and Sophie de Serière, Casco functions as a messenger between writer and reader and distributes a lyrical letter by post each month. Using the traditional reach of the written letter, Dear, seeks to connect readers with poets, writers, and artists, establishing a sense of closeness in a time marked by distance. This second series of Dear, features limited edition letters by artists and musicians Geo Wyeth, Urok Shirhan, Angel Bat Dawid, and Shabaka Hutchings.

Image description: (1) Urok Shirhan stands, with a powerful stare, and a microphone in her hand, and graphic elements surrounding it. (2) Geo Wyeth sits on a chair, with his top half visible, wearing an artful mantle. (3) Angel stands graciously, with arms wide open, wearing an ornamented dress, beads in her hair. All three images have rhythmic and nebulous graphic elements around it, part of the identity of Common Grounds: Song / Value, as designed by David Bennewith.
