BOSTON-During the month of April, Peace of Art, Inc., will be
displaying the Armenian Genocide commemorative billboards to honor
the victims of the Armenian Genocide, calling for recognition and
condemnation of the genocide. Peace of Art, Inc. is a nonprofit
educational organization that uses the universal language of art to
address human concerns and to promote peaceful solutions to conflict.
This year the billboards will be located in the Massachusetts cities
of Foxboro, Watertown, and Cambridge.
Artist Daniel Varoujan Hejinian, president and founder of Peace of Art
Inc., said that "with these billboards we are honoring the memory of
the victims of the Armenian Genocide, calling upon the international
community to recognize the Armenian Genocide, and to condemn the
perpetrators. He added, "98 years have passed but the bloody hand
prints of the horrible events of 1915 stained the pages of the world
history, when 1.5 million Armenians lost their lives."
The 2013 billboard depicts the bloody hand prints on the words
'Armenian Genocide' over a black background. Since 1996, Hejinian
has been calling for the recognition of the Armenian Genocide. In
2004 Peace of Art, Inc. began to sponsor the commemorative billboards
honoring the victims and calling for the recognition of the Armenian
Genocide. This year's message further calls for the condemnation
of genocide.
"The Armenian Genocide is not a matter of concern for Armenians
alone but to everyone. Genocide is a crime against humanity. Without
recognition and condemnation, the Armenian Genocide remains a wound
that continues to bleed, under the hand prints of the culprit,"
said Hejinian.
