Dutch term or phrase: Dat de door haar bedoeling

I am translating a newspaper article of a speech made by the artist Toorop at the first exhibition held at a stedelijk museum in –I think- 1911. This sentence and the next are written by the, I assume, journalist in the introductory paragraph.

…- de groep schilders van de moderne school, welke Cézanne als voorlooper eert- zal wellicht nog meer inkt dan verf kosten. Want deze daad lokt veel geschrijf. *Dat de door haar bedoeling* belangrijke openingsrede van Toorop daarbij betrokken wordt, lijkt onmisbaar. Immers zij sproot uit hetzelfde brein, dat daar aan den wand den St. Paulus in de Aeropaag schiep.

The opening address, which is important because of its intent

Explanation:
Low confidence, so this is a bit of a guess:

I assume the text aims to achieve/prove/discuss something and is therefore of importance
