Yes, a number of her prints are in the MoMA collection and have been featured in exhibitions. It was great to have her speak here!

@posztoka Gordon Matta-Clark (photographer) and I think the next one is REVS? It''s a little unclear but sounds like it.

No, she said "Indonesian Shadow Puppets", or Wayang.

Excuse me but is this what she said at 4:01 "I was really inspired by Indonesian child puppets". Thanks.

She worked consistently extremely hard for several years, is hugely talented and took the whole package to several cities around the world. No mean feat, and she pulled off a lot of street work in London alone.
