Abstract: We show that any pivotal Hopf monoid $H$ in a symmetric monoidal category $mathcalC$ gives rise to actions of mapping class groups of oriented surfaces of genus $ggeq1$ with $ngeq1$ boundary components. These mapping class group actions are given by group homomorphisms into the group of automorphisms of certain Yetter-Drinfeld modules over $H$. They are associated with edge slides in embedded ribbon graphs that generalise chord slides in chord diagrams. We give a concrete description of these mapping class group actions in terms of generating Dehn twists and defining relations. For the case where $mathcalC$ is finitely complete and cocomplete, we also obtain actions of mapping class groups of closed surfaces by imposing invariance and coinvariance under the Yetter-Drinfeld module structure.
