# Agbogbloshie AI-made. Made with AI, as its festival says: β€œThe 2026 edition of the Artefact AI Film Festival β€” an international competition for short films made with generative AI, organised by Artefact with mk2.” ([its page](https://artefact-ai-film-festival.com/), read 2026-11-12). By MARCOS ROGERIO TEIXEIRA JUNIOR, as [Artefact AI Film Festival](https://artefact-ai-film-festival.com/gallery) names them. The world replaced six thousand phones this morning. All of it is burning in Agbogbloshie, in the middle of Accra, where six thousand people make a living pulling copper out of what you upgraded away from. They breathe five times the WHO safety limit. Nobody records what kills them. In 2021 the government demolished the place β€” the smoke only moved closer to the houses. He lives there. And while everyone else digs for weight, he digs for the piece that still works. Out of a washing machine motor, dead laptop batteries and spliced wire, he raises a lamp post in the middle of his own street. That night, for the first time in twenty-two years, the street had light. That is how they found him. Fiction, set in a place that exists.
