On Feb. 14, Peace of Art, Inc. added three new billboards in
commemoration of the centennial of the Armenian Genocide in the Boston
area. The new digital billboards are different from the others in
design but similar with concept. All the billboards commemorate the
centennial of the Armenian Genocide and pay tribute to the victims.
Two digital billboards are located in Foxboro, and the third one is
located in Peabody, Mass, Asbarez reports.
Against a black background, one billboard reads "1915-2015 the
Centennial of the Armenian Genocide." The letters "O" and "C" in the
word "Genocide" are combined to form a red heart with a bite. The
heart symbolizes the heart of a nation, and the bite symbolizes 1.5
million innocent lives carved off a nation, whose wounds are still
bleeding through generations.
The other digital billboard reads "I Remember and I Demand 1915-2015
the Centennial of the Armenian Genocide." The letter "O" in the word
"Genocide" is a purple forget-me-not, the official Armenian Genocide
centennial symbol. The flower has five petals which represent the five
continents where genocide survivors settled and rebuilt their lives.
Also represents the pain shared by Armenians around the world united
with their demands for recognition and justice.
"Since January 2015, Peace of Art, Inc., has displayed ten billboards
in the United States. Chicago, Seattle, Peabody, Sharon and Foxboro,
and will continue to display electronic billboards throughout the
United States during the year 2015," said Peace of Art founding
president Daniel Varoujan Hejinian.
