He is also known for using his art to examine sociopolitical issues and fight for change.

artwork is renowned for its emotionality, its honesty about difficult and complex topics, and its careful details in word, image and sound.
Pinderhughes is also the Artistic & Executive Director of The Healing Project, a community arts organization that creates narrative change and collective healing in partnership with individuals impacted by structural violence to build a world based around healing rather than punishment.
Pinderhughes is the first-ever Art for Justice + Soros Justice Fellow and a recipient of Chamber Music America’s 2020 Visionary Award.
