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.
