In 1983, Suda was one of six California photographers selected by former MOPA Director Arthur Ollman to use the Polaroid 20x24 in the galleries of the Museum. In 1993, her earlier work was included in a retrospective of artists and photographers working in Los Angeles during the 1960's to 1980's entitled Proof, which was recently showcased in Aperture Magazine’s “Los Angeles”. In 2012, Suda’s work was included in an exhibit titled Then and Now, which was part of the year long Getty’s Pacific Standard Time: LA 1945 - 1980.
