Brocal takes over cultural promotion of the city of Basel
Sabina Brocal, currently deputy head of the Winterthur Office for Culture, will take over the cultural promotion division within the Basel-Stadt Culture Department at the beginning of August.
Brocal has been deputy head of the City of Winterthur's Office of Culture since 2021, and was interim head of the office from April to September 2023. She previously worked for the Swiss Films Foundation, including as a member of the Executive Board and as Head of Programs and International Relations, as well as for the Swiss Arts Council Pro Helvetia as a project manager and curator. She was also active as an expert on various specialist committees.
Sabina Brocal studied Film Studies, German Studies and Business Administration at the University of Zurich and completed an MAS in Cultural Management at the University of Basel. With the appointment of Sabina Brocal, the management of the Department of Culture is now complete, according to the city's press release. Due to the increase in tasks resulting from the implementation of the "tip initiative" and the new cultural contract with Basel-Landschaft, a continuous second management level will be created at the Culture Department. The Grand Council approved a corresponding proposal by the Government Council last year.
