Eventually returning to Nicaragua, Molina attended the Polytechnic University of Nicaragua, where he explored periodicals and the political commentaries they were composed of. Equipped with this knowledge and his own experiences, Molina was inspired to create Nicaraguan political cartoons that criticized and shed light on the actions of the Nicaraguan government.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Unfortunately, Molina\u2019s influential cartoons attracted the attention of the Nicaraguan government, who according to the PEN America\u2019s 2021 Freedom to Write Index, ranked second-worst in Latin America for having the largest number of artists imprisoned. Molina\u2019s dire need was recognized by the Institute of International Education\u2019s Artist Protection Fund. The fellowship gave Molina a grant that enabled him to continue creating and spreading his political cartoons safely hosted at Cornell University.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>Now, like any human being, I may have my preferences, inclinations, or ways of thinking, but I believe it is my responsibility to challenge them.\u201d<\/p>\n<cite>Pedro Molina<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>With the Artist Protection Fund\u2019s support, Molina\u2019s career was able to reach new heights. In 2023, he was awarded the prestigious Vaclav Havel Prize for Creative Dissent, an award that recognizes individuals &#8220;who engage in creative dissent, exhibiting courage and creativity to challenge injustice and live in truth&#8221;. Molina continues to publish his influential cartoons that criticize the Nicaraguan government\u2019s policies, practices and culture. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Institute of International Education\u2019s Artist Protection Fund draws upon the unwavering commitment that the Institute has demonstrated for over 100 years to preserve lives, voices, and ideas from around the globe. It provides life-saving fellowship grants to threatened artists from any field or artistic endeavor, and places them at host universities and arts centers in safe countries where they can continue their work. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Click <a href=\"https:\/\/www.iie.org\/programs\/artist-protection-fund\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">here<\/a> to learn more about the Artist Protection Fund\u2019s work in providing life-saving grants for at-risk artists like Pedro.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-iie-person-bio\">\n\t<div class=\"person-block__header\">\n\t\t\n\t\t<div class=\"person-block__details\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"person-block__name has-h-3-font-size\">Artist Protection Fund<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"person-block__title eyebrow\">CONTACTS<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"person-block__contact-links\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-link\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"wp-block-button__link icon-link email\" href=\"mailto:APF@iie.org\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 512 512\"><!--!
