POS Available Here repurposes the aesthetics and functionality of the point-of-sale (POS) stands commonly found throughout Nigerian — essential sites of money circulation in the country — to re-route money from the Global North to Lagos as a form of reparations. Here, visual elements of POS stands —the mismatched and layered fabrics, the posters, the company logos—become the vehicle for telling a different story about Nigeria’s integration into global economic and financial systems.

Rather than mere representation, POS Available Here turns financial infrastructure into a stage and financial transactions into performance. The project asks: if states and multinational corporations are unwilling to address global financial inequities, what then is the role of individuals?

Nnebe takes on the role of POS agent, taking payments from visitors using a customized payment terminal and sending the money back to the POS agents and local organizations she worked with in Lagos as a form of reparations and mutual aid.

As of June 2026, Nnebe has raised over €1000 operating her POS stand in the Netherlands and Canada, both within and outside gallery walls.
