Created Date

Description
Fifth-generation Californian Malavos was an art teacher in the San Jose school system and a local artist who exhibited in both local and nationally recognized museums and galleries. Her interview documents her recollections of growing up in San Jose in the early 20th century, how teaching and students changed in the mid-20th century, her work as an artist, and her community involvement.
Malavos is a descendant of Andrea Malavos, who was born in 1845 in Sipan, off the coast of Dubrovnic, Croatia. He left home at 14 to become a seafarer, and arrived in San Francisco on April 18, 1858, coming to Santa Clara Valley where he remained until his death in 1899. He married Maria de Jesus Alviso, granddaughter of Ignacio Alviso.
