PRESS RELEASE
Pomegranate
By Rosario Teixeira
Watertown, MA - In 1996 Peace of Art creator and founder, the artist
Daniel Varoujan Hejinian, began to display the Armenian Genocide
commemorative billboards in Watertown, MA. Each year the billboard
message has consistently called for the recognition of the Armenian
Genocide. Since 2004, Peace of Art, Inc., has sponsored the Armenian
Genocide billboards.
During the month of April 2008, the billboards will be displayed on
School Street and on Mount Auburn Street in Watertown, MA. At the
center of the word genocide there is the image of a ripe pomegranate
cut in half. The pomegranate represents Armenia and it is the symbol
of life and fertility. On April 24, 1915, when Armenian culture was
going through a resurgence, the lives of 1.5 million Armenians, poets
and intellectuals were cut short in the events which were marked as
the Armenian Genocide.
