Hello, I am translating a review of an exhibition and the construction "sich begegnen auf" comes up:
Auf den Spuren von Vergänglichkeit, auf den Spuren des ökologischen, des kapitalistischen, imperialistischen Fußabdrucks sind sich diese vier Künstlerinnen begegnet und nähern sich aus verschiedenen Richtungen ihren Themen, eine Geschichte im Zeichen von Krieg, Ungewissheit, Klimakatastrophe und Migrationen.
What I've come up with so far is:
These four female artists encounter traces of...
Does this construction hint at something else? Thank you for your suggestions.

drawn into the same orbit
They were drawn into the same orbit, examining the fading traces of the past etc.. This means they intersected intellectually at a certain level, which the author describes here.
Discussion
@Paul, this is more about the fact that these artists' paths cross (whether actually in reality, or just conceptually) while they're exploring all these various themes
It's not really "sich begegnen auf", it's "sich begegnen" and "auf den Spuren", in search of.
