RÚNTA RISING is an exhibition of emerging creative voices from the Media Production & Digital Arts BA (Hons) degree at TU Dublin, Tallaght Campus. Inspired by the subversive nature of the speakeasy the Degree Show opens into an intriguing world of creativity and discovery. Like the veiled, peripheral, and underground spaces that inspired the students, this exhibition explores unseen and overlooked moments of joy, kinship, intimacy, openness, loss, and vulnerability, inviting viewers to immerse themselves completely within the space.

Working across a diverse range of media and digital arts including design, film and video, visual effects, audio, animation, screenwriting, photography, and emerging media technologies, students of the class of 2026 have honed their creative skills through critical research and cultural contexts, to produce this Degree Show exhibition. Their accompanying individual portfolios of work can be viewed on their website: mpda.ie
