Mumbai-based Self-Authenticity Facilitator and living minimalist performance artist Namrata Vishal Lodaya is set to make her debut at the Cannes Film Festival 2026 with her unique live performance art concept titled The Inner Red Carpet, representing India on a global stage. She will be attending Cannes through an association with Haute Monde MIWW.
With over 26 years of experience mentoring individuals through intentional art practices, Namrata’s work focuses on helping people reconnect with themselves through creativity, self-awareness, and emotional expression. Namrata also honours the legacy of her late husband Vishal, fulfilling his dream of spreading a message of Authenticity, Love, and Gratitude; values he had long sought to bring to the world through his screenplay writing.
Blending emotion, storytelling, healing, and human connection, The Inner Red Carpet aims to encourage audiences to reflect on their authentic selves through a simple yet powerful question: “Have you ever walked on your Inner Red Carpet?” Designed as a living performance installation, Namrata will engage with audiences in real time during the festival, creating immersive moments centred around introspection, authenticity, and emotional honesty.
