Activities In 2005, Nakonechna joined the Ukrainian artist collective R.E.P. (Revolutionary Experimental Space). 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.

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.
