Two colorful billboards loom large over Mt. Auburn and Arsenal
streets in Watertown with a simple message: “Join US: Recognize
the Armenian Genocide.” Artist Daniel Varoujan Hejinian, the son of
genocide survivors and a former Watertown resident, said he put them
up in March through his nonprofit entity, Peace of Art, to “promote
peace and awareness” and to remind people of the Armenian Genocide
of 1915. Hejinian has been behind similar signs displayed around town
since 1996.
