 Local craftsmen from ABM Coventry recently took great pride in crafting their  Tree of Life sculpture.

JLR unveiled their Tree of Life sculpture, born out of their passion for art and sustainability while celebrating the profound legacy left by iconic figures of African and Caribbean heritage, as part of #BlackHistoryMonth.

The beautiful installation was designed with circular aluminium, conceptualised by our Creative function and African & Caribbean Heritage (ACH) employee network and based on themes of hope and engagement.
 
The roots and branches have been designed to symbolise the legacy of African and Caribbean trailblazers and pioneers who paved the way for their communities and provided them with hope.
 
Each leaf on the tree has been brought to life through the JLR Schools Partnership programme, capturing the expressions from schoolchildren on what inspirational African and Caribbean leaders mean to them. The engagement with schools aims to empower and inspire the next generation and their hopes for the future.
