During the month of April 2013, 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 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, Mr.
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.
