The above picture is a cropped still from Adelita Husni-Bey's video, The Reading (2017), which is one of three artworks showing at the Italian Pavilion at this year's (57th) Venice Biennale. [The card shown appears to be a picture of the head of a woman wearing virtual reality goggles.] This article has a summary, "[the video] features a group of young people discussing their relationships to their homelands.The conversations are fuelled by Husni-Bey’s introduction of self-made tarot cards." A second article has additional details.
A third article provides even more information.
... young students are given a stack of Tarot cards designed by the artist during her time protesting the construction of a pipeline near the Standing Rock Reservation. They are then asked to ask how the word and diagram on the card relates to the world’s problems as they see them, and how they related to our age of information and late capitalism.
