Activities

In 2005, Nakonechna joined the Ukrainian artist collective R.E.P.. Initially, a group of twenty artists of different occupations, R.E.P. soon became a small community of six artists who tried out different artistic expressions.
Nakonechna is also a member of Hudrada, a curatorial group of designers, architects, authors and other artists. Hudrada is active since 2008 and organizes projects, e. g., exhibitions, to create a platform for theoretical exchange.
In 2015, Nakonechna co-founded the Method Fund.
This independent cultural organisation is conceived as a self-learning project and is dedicated to finding ways to establish art in specific locations. The focus is on collaborative approaches and supporting young artists in their respective places of residence.
As a curator, Nakonechna is partly responsible for the organisation's educational and course offerings.
Nakonechna left Ukraine during the Russian Invasion in 2022. In 2023, she worked as a guest lecturer at the University of Fine Arts (HfbK) in Hamburg.
